Windows Error: Implement me. Unknown stdin file type!

[rafaelcastrocouto]

How to reproduce:

type npm install devtool -g
then type devtool
inside the console there will be two errors, one at line 127 and the other at line 128 at C:\Users\rafael\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\devtool\node_modules\electron-prebuilt\dist\resources\atom.asar\renderer\lib\init.js

I just pushed some code to ignore process.stdin on Windows. I will try to test soon on a Windows PC to see if there is a nice way of handling this. Let me know if 1.8.3 allows you to work without errors.

To update:
npm install devtool -g

Good job 👍

@rafaelcastrocouto are you running on 1.8.3?

[rafaelcastrocouto]

no, i'm on 2.0.2

[Knighton910]

@rafaelcastrocouto I don't have a windows environment to try this in, can you post this question on nodejs/node gitter, Or the irc?

[Knighton910]

@mattdesl is there anyway, you can verify that 2.0.2 is acting buggy for process.stdin?
