Windows Powershell issues

[skellock]

I just dealt with someone who had some problems running under Windows Powershell.

It was worked around by running ignite through good ol' cmd.exe.

The error they were experiencing was:

Could have been a rogue globally installed package, Windows Powershell, or perhaps the Illuminati.

I had the same problem with Powershell

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\dev\tty'

Using cmd.exe solved for me as well.

Fails in babun, works in cmd.exe for me as well.

I faced a similar issue when using Git Bash. Works when using in cmd.exe

Anyone have insights into why this is happening? Some light googling turn up no answers for me.

[Nantris]

No idea why it doesn't work, but is there a reason you can't use cmd.exe?

[skellock]

Me personally? Ya, I can use cmd.exe. But it should run on powershell & git bash too. Because people use that as well.

I don't intend to support Windows Powershell, but if someone wants to tackle this, feel free!

PowerShell is now working in the latest version of Ignite, v8!
