haxelib submit password input broken in Windows

[andyli]

On Windows, when haxelib asks for password when submitting a library, if user enter abc, it will somehow get a b c . I have no idea why yet but I suspect it is caused by some changes in recent Windows update.

The current workaround is to directly pass the password as the last argument, i.e. haxelib submit path/to/lib.zip password.

Hmm. I've just tested it (the haxelib build that shipped with 4.0.0-preview.3) with:

• plain cmd
• plain PowerShell
• PowerShell in cmd
• PowerShell in VSCode
• cmd in PowerShell in VSCode

All of that with haxeshim in between - which is more likely to introduce the problem you're describing rather than fix it.

The issue was reported by @yar3333, and I reproduced it with Neko 2.2.0 on my Windows 10 machine (Windows 10 Pro version 1803, OS build 17134.48).

I've just found out that it happens to the Neko 2.2.0 (32-bit) binary, but not Neko 2.1.0 (32-bit)...

For the record, the Haxe 3.4.7 and 4.0.0-preview.3 Windows installers are bundled with Neko 2.1.0, so they are fine...

I have the same problem on my machine as well. This is very problematic... and yes it's suddenly broken without any reason

There's definitely something wrong with Neko build because on same terminal I get the error in Neko but not in HL (which is supposed to use the same C function I think?)

Same issue. Workaround works.
