Same input with different results in terminal and cmd.exe

[jnkb]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows Pro [Version 10.0.18363.836] x64
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1401.0

Any other software?
stripe cli

Steps to reproduce

Download Stripe CLI (https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.1) after "stripe login" (not sure if needed, i was already logged in) using the command "stripe listen --forward-to https://localhost:44391/api/StripeWebHooks" works on cmd.exe, but not in terminal

Expected behavior

should work as in cmd.exe

Actual behavior

output "unknown flag: --forward-to https://localhost:44391/api/StripeWebHooks"

Well that just doesn't make any sense at all. I have no idea why that wouldn't work. Do other stripe CLI functions work in the Windows Terminal?

If you have WSL installed, could you try running the following for me?

1. Open cmd.exe (not in the Windows Terminal)
2. run wsl in that legacy console window
3. run cmd.exe from within wsl.
4. try running your command (stripe listen --forward-to ...) again in this window.

This might help narrow the problem down to Conpty vs the entire Windows Terminal.

Same Problem in the wls cmd:

I just found out that it seems to be an encoding problem. Typing it in manually, it works. Copy & Paste does not work depending on the source.

Try copy & paste from the txt:

terminal_issue_6353.txt

Below the byte arrays of the different inputs. The space after forward-to is different: 32 vs. 194,160. Don't know how this happend.

created with with

var notWorking = "stripe listen --forward-to https://localhost:44391/api/StripeWebHooks";
var bytesW = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(working);

{
    Console.WriteLine(working[i] + "\t\t" + bytesW[i] + "\t\t" + bytesNW[i]);
}

Oh, excellent work with that!

The 160 is probably a &nbsp, IIRC there's some conhost code that just translates those on paste.

The 194 though, no idea what that's doing in there...

194 is 0xC2, and "\xc2\xa0" is the UTF-8 encoding of a non-breaking space, U+00A0.

Indeed!
