[zsh & perhaps Bash] v4 beta : output tty problem

[Maziar123]

Hi

1. how set stdin & tty (internal & external ) ?
2. I use this plugin in pycharm when pycharm runs from a Linux terminal (kde konosole) Then Konosole is open when debugging; now my script has some echo (some of it is generated with echo > /dev/tty & some messages without /dev/tty ) nice bug; some messages show in konsole & some messages in your terminal ......

Thanks! zshdb itself is not widely used and BashSupport Pro's integration is also not yet widely used. I'll investigate and try to reproduce this. stdin/stdout/stderr can't be configured, it's supposed to be handled automatically.

Is there a reason why you're piping to /dev/tty instead of just using the default stdout?

Please test with 4.0.2 and let me know when you need further help with this problem. Thanks!

need extend trial version ...

If you tested 4.0 beta, then you should get a new trial with the final 4.x version. If that's not the case, please write to [email protected].

Please also reply to my question above:

Thanks!

Is there a reason you're piping to /dev/tty instead of just using the default stdout? Many times, JetBrains runs from the Linux terminal. Try it! if do it it do piping to /dev/tty

Are you doing this to see script output executed inside the IDE on the terminal which launched the IDE? Sorry, but I still don't understand the use case.

[Maziar123]

Sorry, I wonder what is not understandable.

In Linux, many times, also in x, you run tools that use the terminal, for example, to set variables or paths...

@Maziar123 Sorry, but I just don't understand your use-case and wanted to understand it before I decide if this should or could be implemented.

STDIN can be set for run configurations to a file, see setting "Redirect from input:" at https://www.bashsupport.com/manual/run/settings/#configuration

/dev/tty is the controlling terminal. Executing tty prints the terminal connected to STDIN (man tty).

The BashSupport Pro run configurations are creating a new controlling terminal, so echo something > /dev/tty prints to the output tool window of the run configuration, which is the same as echo something unless another redirection is applied for this command in the script. Currently, /dev/tty is unavailable in a debug session (I don't know why, yet).

For echo something > /dev/tty where would you like to see the output?

If you have a specific use-case to use /dev/tty please post a sample script to demonstrate this.
