terminals do not work on windows for gdbgui 0.14+ #348

@cs01

Description

@cs01

Describe the bug
Python does not support pseudoterminals (for example, import pty on windows fails) on windows.

As of gdbgui v0.14, pty's are used in the backend, and thus cannot support windows in newer versions with pty's until either

  • Python supports ptys on windows (or a 3rd party package is found that does)
  • the gdbgui backend is rewritten in node or rust (not planned)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run gdbgui v0.14+ on windows
  2. Observe error

Expected behavior
gdbgui runs normally

Workaround
Run on Unix or use gdbgui version 0.13.x or lower.
