Run custom command returns an error on Windows

[kishikaisei]

Running this command :lua require('FTerm').run('lazygit') (or anything in quotes) returns an empty window, with an error message on windows:

E5108: Error executing lua Vim:E475: Invalid argument: expected a String or List

What's your fterm config?

[kishikaisei]

This is it right now for testing et al.

require'FTerm'.setup({
    -- Command to run inside the terminal. It could be a `string` or `table`
    -- cmd = os.getenv('pwsh'),

    -- Neovim's native window border. See `:h nvim_open_win` for more configuration options.
    border = 'rounded',

    -- Close the terminal as soon as shell/command exits.
    -- Disabling this will mimic the native terminal behaviour.
    auto_close = true,

    -- Highlight group for the terminal. See `:h winhl`
    hl = 'Normal',

    -- Transparency of the floating window. See `:h winblend`
    blend = 0,

    -- Object containing the terminal window dimensions.
    -- The value for each field should be between `0` and `1`
    dimensions = {
        height = 0.9, -- Height of the terminal window
        width = 0.9, -- Width of the terminal window
        x = 0.5, -- X axis of the terminal window
        y = 0.5, -- Y axis of the terminal window
    }
})

-- -- Example keybindings
local map = vim.api.nvim_set_keymap
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
map('n', '<A-g>', "<CMD>lua require('FTerm').run('lazygit')<CR>", opts)

vim.cmd('command! FTermOpen lua require("FTerm").open()')
vim.cmd('command! FTermClose lua require("FTerm").close()')
vim.cmd('command! FTermExit lua require("FTerm").exit()')
vim.cmd('command! FTermToggle lua require("FTerm").toggle()')

Config looks fine to me. IDK what's the issue then as this doesn't happen on Linux. And I don't have access to any windows machine so I won't be able to fix this issue. If you can fix it that will be great and I'll be happy to assist you :)

I'm facing this issue on windows too.

@atulpatildbz If you are able to fix the issue that would be much appreciated.

@kishikaisei @atulpatildbz Does https://github.com/numToStr/FTerm.nvim/commit/c2a4c4bbd00da68d864683cd09a5d3a2b80de11d solve the issue?

I am getting this same error with this setup

`require('FTerm').setup({})

vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('FTermOpen', require('FTerm').open, { bang = true }) vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('FTermClose', require('FTerm').close, { bang = true })`

When I run :FTermOpen, I get the same error as above, and a blank floating window.

I have the latest version with the commit above.

Update: I actually just resolved this.

Had to change the setup step to require('FTerm').setup({cmd = 'cmd.exe'})

Had to change the setup step to require('FTerm').setup({cmd = 'cmd.exe'})

I guess that must be the issue. The default value of cmd is os.getenv('SHELL') and I am not sure whether this is available or not on windows.

I am closing this for now. If anyone else having this issue please try to update cmd option in setup().
