如何解决来自期望库的“不支持”错误

Question

While trying out the library - https://github.com/Netflix/go-expect

Following the readme, I tried to execute their main program (from readme). On the first line:

c, err := expect.NewConsole(expect.WithStdout(os.Stdout))

I get error : 2018/12/14 16:09:00 unsupported

I am using Windows 7. I am not sure what the error implies here. What is not supported? Does it not support Windows or its something else?

Answer 1

The library (or at least the expect.NewConsole function) doesn't work with Microsoft Windows.

It uses the github.com/kr/pty package, which requires unix.

The "unsupported" error comes from this file: https://github.com/Netflix/go-expect/blob/master/vendor/github.com/kr/pty/pty_unsupported.go
