_curses.error: setupterm: could not find terminfo database

Crabime commented 7 years ago

these days i have been always seeing ci_edit source code, everything is ok but i can not run it on pycharm. below is the error stacktrace when i ran Ci_program:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    globals = run_file(file, None, None)

_curses.error: setupterm: could not find terminfo database

I had tried these ways:

add TERM=xterm-256color and TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo/78 in path which located in ~/.bash_profile，that doesn't work, such error still appear
add such environment variables into pycharm program run/debug configuration directly,still doesn't work.

so far, i have tried all the way but still can not debug curses program. and here is the link to the question i putted forward in stackoverflow but still nobody knows,hope someone can save me out.

Current OS version: OS X 10.11.4 System Platform: Darwin

I'm not sure, but I'll try to help:

Maybe try running a different ncurses program in pycharm to see if it's particular to ci_edit or running ncurses programs in pycharm.

You may also be able to use ci_edit/test_fake/curses if rendering to the screen is not needed. The test_fake/curses is something I wrote to use the unittest framework with ci_edit. It has an API that is similar to curses, but the calls are "fake". They don't really open windows or draw text.

thanks for your response although waiting for long. and I had tried run a really simple curses program in pycharm, it still can not run whose error still like above, only if i run it in mac terminal then it can work well.
