urlscan.close_stdin() fails from mutt in xterm #82

Closed NeoGeetz closed 5 years ago

NeoGeetz commented 5 years ago

I know there's another issue that was opened about 3 years back that seemed to go away but rebooting didn't do anything in my case.

I don't know if this is due to something mutt does to /dev/tty or an xterm thing but maybe if you can't reproduce it then I'll assume it might have something to do with my mutt install or something.

environment: xterm 344-1 mutt 1.11.3-2 urlscan 0.9.2-1

I can run urlscan with a file argument in xterm directly just fine, but the line close_stdin() at the end of process_input(fname) causes the python traceback thing to happen when I pipe an email message into mutt with the '|' keybinding. ("no device /dev/tty")

if I comment out close_stdin() at the end of process_input(fname) it works but then doesn't receive inputs ie like pressing down up or enter.

Yeah, I can't reproduce this here...identical versions of all three programs (Arch, I'm assuming?). Tried in xterm, urxvt, terminator and a tty and all worked fine using the mutt | urlscan command. Sounds like you've got something wonky in your environment....wish I could direct you where to look! Does it work in other terminals? What's the window manager or DE? How do you login...tty or login manager?

hey, thanks for trying at least. I must. window manager is awesome, I'll admit it's given me issues in the past. Yeah I'm also on Arch. I just tried it now in tty and same issue but if i run the command from the command prompt directly it's fine. Maybe it's my mutt settings or some kind of ncurses thing. Thanks for responding so quickly !
