#415 closed Bug (Fixed)

CUI compiled scripts won't execute batch files properly

Reported by: ResNullius Owned by: Valik
Milestone: 3.2.13.6 Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.2.12.1 Severity: None
Keywords: Cc:

Description

The following script when run uncompiled behaves as expected, you are greeted with the "Press any key to continue" message and the batch file waits for a key press.
But when compiled and run, it displays the message and immediately returns from the batch file without waiting for the key press.

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

$tmpBatFile = FileOpen("tmpBatFile.cmd",2)
FileWriteLine($tmpBatFile,"@Pause")
FileClose($tmpBatFile)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Are you Ready?" & @CRLF & @CRLF)
RunWait("tmpBatFile.cmd")
ConsoleWrite("Done" & @CRLF)

Tested on Win2000/XP 32-bit with all service packs. Also with AutoIt beta 3.2.13.3.
The problem does not exist when compiled under v3.2.10.0 (with a compatible version of AutoIt3Wrapper).

Don't think it's a problem with the keyboard buffer, because on a different script that waits for user input via a batch file, I get an error like there was no input, whereas run on its own (from a cmd prompt) the batch file doesn't error even if you just hit return without any input.

Replying to ResNullius:

The following script when run uncompiled behaves as expected, you are greeted with the "Press any key to continue" message and the batch file waits for a key press.

That's because when running non-compiled, you are not running as a console application at all. So, this is irrelevant.

The first version to officially support CUI compilation is 3.2.12.0. Any other version is irrelevant.

That being said, I know what the issue is and how to fix it but I'm debating on whether or not fixing it is right.

Just background info, didn't want to be accused of insufficient testing :-)

Of course, that is up to you.
If you decide not to fix, will you explain why it isn't right to?
Just seems to me that if a compiled GUI script can execute batch files like this OK then a CUI compiled one should be able to also.
Thanks Valik, I'll leave you alone now.
