http://gortool.com - test your system with real data64-bit openbsd. Was running go 1.6.2.
Upgraded to go 1.7, same problems.
dave@tripper:goterm [master] $ go run examples/chart_example.go Error: GetWinsize: inappropriate ioctl for device dave@tripper:goterm [master] $ go version go version go1.7 openbsd/amd6464-bit Ubuntu 14.04 running into the same issue.
I have the same issue, but only when running my program to the right of a Unix pipe.
Reacted by mh-cbonhttps://github.com/buger/goterm/blob/master/terminal_sysioctl.go#L26 uses os.Stdin as an argument to the ioctl system call. When the standard input is not a terminal then os.Stdin is useless to ioctl hence
inappropriate ioctl for deviceerror.The fix is to check whether os.Stdin is a tty, and if not, try os.Stdout or os.Stderr (vim does something like this https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/src/os_unix.c#L3861).
It's not perfect though, as it can still fail if those three were not ttys.
Reacted by mh-cbonupdating the module worked for me
go get -u github.com/buger/goterm
