Can't use sh pipe on Arm macOS

[lorenzolewis]

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://create.tauri.app/sh | sh doesn't work on Arm-based macOS installs and results in this error:

Is this something we know what the root cause of is? I can reproduce it to help troubleshoot and fix. Related PR in docs: tauri-apps/tauri-docs@6e1deee and tauri-apps/tauri-docs#1162

I was able to get a little more info:

I think the issue may be in the rust binary, not necessarily in the shell script.

I don't know but maybe this section is related

create-tauri-app/create-tauri-app.sh

Is there a way to replicate this on a local build in any way?

[amrbashir]

A dirt way is to replace $_file in these two lines with a path to the release version of a CTA (usually target/release/cargo-create-tauri-app

create-tauri-app/create-tauri-app.sh

Lines 113 to 115 in 093a0d9

	ignore "$_file" "$@" < /dev/tty
	else
	ignore "$_file" "$@"

then:
cat create-tauri-app.sh | sh should work

[lorenzolewis]

Yup, was able to get a repro with that one @amrbashir

Did a bit of digging into this and putting my notes here:

• We use https://github.com/console-rs/dialoguer that in turn uses https://github.com/console-rs/console
• It seems stack overflow is being caused by an infinite loop here: https://github.com/console-rs/console/blob/ab9cd9dd7e65c11e050988e9a706a991ed7749cc/src/unix_term.rs#L262
• This could be potentially linked to this issue: Piping data via STDIN into executable makes text prompts not work console-rs/console#76
