Garbage output when using helix as the git editor on Windows

Open FinnPerry opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Summary

When helix is set as the editor for git, helix will sometimes spit out garbage output when running a git command that opens the editor.

I use helix on windows installed via scoop and on arch linux installed via pacman, the problem only happens on windows (in both powershell and cmd).

When the bug happens, any key input will cause helix to print more output. The inputs do seem to work correctly though, I can press :q to exit.

Screenshot of the output: HelixOutput

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

  1. git config --global core.editor "hx -vvv"
  2. git config --global -e

I expected this to happen:

The git config opens in helix.

Instead, this happened:

Helix opens and prints lots of garbage output.

Cmd works fine for me, but powershell has the same issue. ~I think it has a similar cause as #2708~.

Try using this as your git's core.editor instead: winpty hx. ~That should fix it~.

Edit: Well, it does fix it but helix will not run with 24 bit colors in that case which makes some text unreadable for me. You could try using a different terminal emulator, though. After a quick test, both Wezterm and ConEmu seem work fine with powershell for me.

I'm able to reproduce this (using Windows Terminal). I compared using hx normally to open a file vs. what git launches to see if I could reproduce the environment that creates this but was unfortunately not able to. Some things I did note however

  1. The process launched by git includes these environment variable settings which launching hx normally does not
COLORTERM=truecolor
TERM=xterm-256color
  1. The process launched by git first launches a sh.exe to launch the hx.exe process (it's packaged with git on Windows).

I tried setting those environment variables in my terminal session then using hx.exe to open a file to see if that confused it but the file opened normally - I did confirm that the resulting process contained those environment variables set. I've definitely seen those environment variables cause confusion with TUI's on windows in the past so I thought for sure I found the cause.

i am on windows, and am facing similar problem of hx outputting giberish when launched with wezterm, but 'ts working fine on other terminal among alacritty , conhost (that's cmd for many as said above), mintty -o ConPTY=on

But the point also being, the person at #2914 reports that hx is working for them in wezterm

Was this fixed in 22.08? I've been using helix in the same setup that originally caused problems for the past few days and the bug has not occurred.

FinnPerry avatar Sep 15 '22 04:09 FinnPerry

i filed my detailed observations regarding different combinations of launching hx, with different shells and terminals, that may help:

update 2023-01-25: sorry, wrong conclusion
update: i am now using `wezterm 20220807-113146-c2fee766` and this bug is no longer reproduced there with same `helix 22.05 (27609f50)` as before.... just for records, this was getting reproduced on `wezterm 20220722-074625-ca8bdb83`

with same helix 22.05 (27609f50) launched from bash shell (via msys2):

  • This is now not reproduced on the terminal wezterm 20220807-113146-c2fee766
  • The latest known version which reproduced the bug is: wezterm 20220722-074625-ca8bdb83

hey @FinnPerry and others; if you are not reproducing this issue any more, then i guess this issue can be closed?

goyalyashpal avatar Jan 20 '23 20:01 goyalyashpal

Yep it's been fixed for me since my last comment. Thanks for your testing!

FinnPerry avatar Jan 22 '23 10:01 FinnPerry

i just tried downgrading the wezterm to wezterm 20220624-141144-bd1b7c5d and running helix 22.05 (27609f50) there still worked fine.

  • Three parameters: 1. application (helix) 2. Terminal (wezterm) 3. Environment (shell) Now, that the first two parameters have been reset to original versions, only thing remains is the environment frrom the shell - bash

Following is just speculation, i have filed an issue with bash, hopefully something concrete can be found there:

So, new suspicion:

  • bash and related environment is the only thing common in all these issues & across all the terminals (except msys2's own mintty) - that's why launching it via git was causing problem as gfw[^gfw] uses msys2-bash-&-environment too.

  • And that also explains the mysterious resolving of the issue. For me, i updated my msys2 - for others it might be that they updated their gfw.

  • ~So, the version of bash i was using with bug was 5.1.8, and currently with no bug i am on GNU bash, version 5.2.9(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)~

[^gfw]: git for windows

self hiding as outdated

hey, if any of you want to find out what was cause of the bug and what fixed it, here's one suspect: https://github.com/git-for-windows/msys2-runtime/pull/45

would anyone want to try and share their results?
