Windows Terminal version

1.18.3181.0 (stable)
1.19.3172.0 (preview)

Windows build number

Windows 11 22631.3007

Other Software

Easy-RSA 3.1.7

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download and extract somewhere latest release: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/releases/download/v3.1.7/EasyRSA-3.1.7-win64.zip (NB: it didn't work even in some old release.)
  2. Open a terminal into that folder
  3. Call EasyRSA-Start.bat
  4. Call ./easyrsa (works on both terminal, WT and cmd.exe)
  5. Call ./easy-rsa help renew

Expected Behavior

It shows the help related to the renew command.

Actual Behavior

WT is stuck and doesn't progress.

Additional notes

At the moment, the workaround is to go into settings and set to use the classic command line. Fortunately I got that from this issue on their tracker https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/issues/1049 , where there are some additional info.

I tried the new preview release from few hours ago (1.20.10293.0) and it seems to work now. So, some recent commit fixed the issue. Great!

Good to hear that it might be fixed on this side. (soonish)
