Bootstrapping Tor process 0

[UnlimitedChild]

Hello,

torboost INFO [] Bootstrapping Tor process 0 stem DEBUG [] System call: tor --version (runtime: 0.02) torboost ERROR [] Could not start Tor process, conflicting ports?

raise OSError('You cannot launch tor with a timeout on Windows')

    except OSError:
        logger.error(f'Could not start Tor process, conflicting ports?')

It is impossible to start Tor in Windows, what could be the problem?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Windows is not a supported OS, sorry if this was misleading. I just updated the docs to mention that.

Fix for Windows, it's working

        try:
            proc = stem.process.launch_tor_with_config(
                take_ownership=True,
                config = config,
                timeout = 100, #self.args.timeout,
                init_msg_handler = self.print_bootstrap,
            )

Hah, nice one! I looked into the sources and it seems some sort of magic, i.e. the timeout is handled, it's just specific value for Windows and nothing else accepted... Thanks for the hint 🙂 I'll fix that.
