The installation is not even starting at all. I'm getting this error:

In Interactivity.php line 32:

Steps To Reproduce

laravel new namodin

Hey @sixtusagbo,

What operating system are you running the laravel new command on?

[sixtusagbo]

Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3448)

Thanks @sixtusagbo,

Are you able to give me the results of this command:

php -r "var_dump(stream_isatty(STDIN));"

(I'm not sure if it should be php.exe instead of just php)

[sixtusagbo]

Just php is okay, anyone can work. I use mingw on bash.
The result of that command is bool(true)

I've had the same issue as @sixtusagbo mentioned.
Is it solved ?

Hi @iyefreedy,

Not yet. Could you please tell me your operating system and the result of running the command from #286 (comment).

[iyefreedy]

This is the result of the command.
And I am using Windows 10 Education 64-bit operating system (10.0, Build 190454)

[jessarcher]

Thanks both!

I'm struggling to figure out what's going on here. The code that triggers that error should only execute if stream_isatty(STDIN) is false.

I'm just setting up a Windows machine to try to replicate this.

[jessarcher]

@iyefreedy are you also using mingw on bash? Or something different?

[jessarcher]

I've replicated the issue.

Very strange behaviour. The stream_isatty function returns differently depending on whether you execute the script directly, or pass it as an argument to php.

Take the following test.php file for example:

#!/usr/bin/env PHP
<?php

var_dump(stream_isatty(STDIN));

And note the different result depending on how you execute it:

$ php test.php
bool(true)

$ ./test.php
bool(false)

While I look into this, you can run the installer with the -n flag to make it non-interactive. E.g.:

laravel new example-app -n

This is caused by mintty and its use of a pipe instead of a TTY.

php is aliased to wintty php.exe, which is why that works. php.exe is not aliased, nor are scripts with a shebang, so those don't work.

I can't find a reliable way to detect whether STDIN is interactive when using mintty so I need to re-think the approach for non-interactive mode in https://github.com/laravel/prompts.

The easiest solution for the time being is probably just to make the fallback mode take priority over the non-interactive mode. An alternative would be to force interactive mode when mintty is used without wintty, but this would still cause issues when mintty is not actually interactive.

Try again all?

LGTM (after composer global update)
