Bower package version numbers not retrieved #4

Closed djohnst10 closed 8 years ago

djohnst10 commented 8 years ago

When trying to install a Bower package, there are no version numbers retrieved for any package I've tried.

While debugging the GetVersion method in the Bower class of the extension I discovered that the line:

string output = await p.StandardOutput.ReadToEndAsync();

returns an empty string.

After setting the RedirectStandardError property to true in the ProcessStartInfo instance, the output variable had the expected output which is then parsed correctly.

I experimented with setting the StandardErrorEncoding and/or retrieving the StandardError but neither was required in order to get the output of the command.

I've experienced a similar issue with the bower package version intellisense in Visual Studio 2015.

My development machine is running Windows 7.

I cannot reproduce this issue. It works fine for me. I wonder if it's related to differences between Windows 10 and Windows 7

djohnst10 commented 8 years ago

It's very possible that this does have something to do with Windows 7. I do not see this problem on my Windows 10 machine at home.

Ok, this is very strange. Let me change it so it redirects StdErr as you describe since that won't cause other issues with this
