Freezes on Windows with Pageant when an SSH key has to be accepted
Version info
- OS: Windows 10
- Build: 2091
Description
When connecting to a server for the first time on Windows with Pageant, Pageant expects a yes/no response on its standard in whether you want to connect to the new server. Since the command is still running, Sublime merge just freezes until you cancel the process. While it is possible to work around this, it is very inconvenient (which is Sublime Merge's primary selling point ;)
Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Setup Sublime Merge with Pageant on Windows
- Clone a new repository you need an SSH key for on a new server
- See Sublime Merge never complete cloning
Expected behavior
Sublime Merge should display a message whether you want to accept the key and then just write a yes or no response on standard in. Alternatively there could be simple yes/no buttons in the console to allow you to respond to blocking interactive questions.
Hi @bmuessig,
Thanks for reporting this bug!
We currently have a custom askpass program bundled with Sublime Merge that should handle this case, however clearly this isn't happening. I'll be investigating this further.
Kind regards, - Dylan from Sublime HQ
