hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Windows] Terminal tool returns empty output on native Windows [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the lack of support for select.select() with pipe file descriptors on Windows, causing the terminal tool to return empty output for all commands.

Guidance

• Investigate alternative methods for handling pipe file descriptors on Windows, such as using the msvcrt module or win32pipe library.
• Verify that the issue is indeed caused by the select.select() limitation by testing with a different approach to handling pipe file descriptors.
• Consider using a cross-platform library that abstracts away the underlying file descriptor handling, such as subprocess or plumbum.
• Check if there are any existing workarounds or fixes for this issue in the HermesAgent codebase or related libraries.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require significant changes to the HermesAgent codebase or the use of additional libraries. The issue is specific to Windows and may not affect other platforms.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as using an alternative method for handling pipe file descriptors, as the issue is likely due to a fundamental limitation in the select.select() function on Windows.
