Subject: win32console and open3 incompatibility

Hi group,

A prize (or at least a big thank you) to anyone who can tell me why commenting in the 2nd line stops anything from being output.

require 'open3'
#require 'win32console'

Open3.popen2('svn info') do |stdin, stdout, wait_thr|
  stdout.each do |line|
     puts line
  end
end

Extra bonus points will be awarded if you tell me how to fix it :)

Cheers,
James


Just came back to this and was able to workaround it by commenting out the line 'opts[:in] = in_r' in popen2. I don't really understand this area, but am recording my 'fix' for posterity :)
