@soapdog & @nixin72 are you able to look at this on Windows and Linux respectively?

Just install (if not already) and create a new package from a template, and post the error back here.

raco pkg install from-template
raco new gui-app

(I think this is readline or the windows equivalent but I'm guessing at this stage.)

Hi @smallfont00

Are you able to test the change in PR #14 ?

I made the PR based your note:

Have you guys tested "from-template" on Linux? The path of "from-template.sh" can't be resolved in my Ubuntu. I have changed the source code of "from-template" and found out define-runtime-path is necessarily for my Ubuntu.

https://github.com/racket-tw/sauron/issues/174#issuecomment-966851572

PR #14 changes from-template to use (define-runtime-path linux-script "from-template.sh")

Thanks again for your support in this.

best regards.

@spdegabrielle Sure. It works. https://github.com/nixin72/from-template/pull/14#issuecomment-966959085

[spdegabrielle]

Many thanks to @smallfont00 for testing #14 - PR #14 has been merged and the linux issue has been resolved.

The windows issue remains

Tried on Windows 10 just now.

thanks @otherjoel I need to go through this on windows tonight. Maybe I should stream to discord!

Hey, thanks @spdegabrielle for handling a lot on this project lately! Are you able to help with a fix for Windows? I don't have a windows machine I can test on.

Yes. It appears to be a problem with the readline lib on windows - it happens with (require readline/readline), but not (require readline).

@nixin72 how do you feel about me removing the lovely interactive stuff? (temporarily)

[nixin72]

Yea, that sounds like a good idea.

[spdegabrielle]

Created branch readline-archive so this functionality can be recovered when the bug is resolved.

fixed by #17
