Due to the native nature of pty.js there has been some incompatibility with some OSs. Currently looking into if ptyw.js fixes these issues
pty.js doesn't work on linux or windows, ptyw.js does if you use electron-rebuild which ensures that native modules are recompiled with the correct node headers for he version of electron we are building for
Thanks for looking into that, Rob. I'll try and get it hooked up with ptyw and electron-rebuild
ptyw.js has a bug on Mac where it doesn't know the result code 🙄 ... but it does work. Probably best to start there and see if I can fix the return code issue.
Submitted a PR to ptyw.js, we'll see if it gets merged soon. If not, we can use my fork.
Argh, I've been trying to set up a Windows 7 machine for development, but so far got nowhere (stuck with a node-gyp error). Have you got a working install @Rob4001 or @StefanJanssen95 ? If you got a chance, would you be able to test this branch to see if it's working now?
The console is also interactive - this will improve the user experience for plain Python apps as well as help when SSH login credentials are needed (among other things I'm sure)
