ping status not working on windows

[circuitb]

• Windows 10 22H2 (tested 2 machines)
• Version 1.9.8 to last

ping status not working ip 127.0.0.1 log: 127.0.0.1 is dead

the strange part is : it was working 6 month ago (version 1.9.8) perhaps some windows update / defender stuff?

what's happening when pinging directly from terminal ?

[circuitb]

everything is fine from cmd and other ping softwares Envoi d’une requête 'Ping' 127.0.0.1 avec 32 octets de données : Réponse de 127.0.0.1 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Réponse de 127.0.0.1 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Réponse de 127.0.0.1 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Réponse de 127.0.0.1 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128

ah yes, the way it's done now only works with an english OS... it's parsing the output. If you manage to have your terminal output in english, it should work

hope this can be improved in a future version, just spend like two hours debugging why ping was not working on my german windows. Wireshark was like: yep ping messages are send and proper responses were received but chataigne did not recognize this. maybe there is a better way to check for a successful ping than checking if "Received = 1" is included in the result or we could check for result in multiple languages like english, german, french, ... to at least reduce the number of cases where the current approach does not not work.

in German the check would be: bool success = result.contains("Empfangen = 1");

[benkuper]

There must be a better way for sure. didn't get proper time to do that

[benkuper]

That may be a good solution : https://github.com/sryze/ping

I improved the current system, it should be more robust to different languages and replies from the ping command on windows, please check with the coming bleeding edge before i roll out the next beta

tested with latest bleeding edge build and it looks like ping is now working as expected on my german windows 10 pro version 22H2
