Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1191.0

I'm running PowerShell within the terminal.

Steps to reproduce

Run msbuild.exe or dotnet build.
Resizing the window during the build is not necessary, but may increase the frequency of the failure.

Expected behavior

No errors or build breaks.

Actual behavior

Evidently some processes that are attached to the console and spawned from within the Windows Terminal call GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx and it frequently fails with GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx->WinError: #6, as shown below:

INFO  00:02:02.377: Targets status: Progress 97.4 %, Pending 1, Ready 0, NotStarted 0, Failed 0, Succeeded 37, FromCache 36, Cache download rate: 0.0 Mbps
INFO  00:02:12.468: Targets status: Progress 97.4 %, Pending 1, Ready 0, NotStarted 0, Failed 0, Succeeded 37, FromCache 36, Cache download rate: 0.0 Mbps
ERROR Command src\env\shell\UIInternal_Checked_X86 (src\env\shell\UIInternal) finished with result Failed, reason: EXEC : error : "GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx->WinError: #6"
Log location: \\DESKTOP-CA1DFI9\D$\VS\src\env\shell\UIInternal\Logs\Checked\X86

This causes frequent build breaks. Restarting the build will usually get the build to pass or at least get further along, so I just repeat the build until it finally succeeds.

I've never seen this outside of Windows Terminal.

Wow, this is really strange. That error indicates that the "handle is invalid" -- which is absolutely not how the pseudoconsole is supposed to work. It looks like it's failing to execute a different binary. Can you try to figure out which binary that is? I'd like to make sure it works over the PTY.

It happens often, and did this morning. But now that I'm trying to get the answer to your question, it's not repro'ing. Gah! I'll keep trying. I'm sure it will happen within a few days. I mean, on average it happens at least a dozen times a day -- except ... now.

This aligns with my perception that this bug showed up at the same time I started using powerline. The EXEC is a spawn of a new powershell.exe child process that then calls ResetConsolePalette

  1. That build process must pass -noprofile to powershell so that it doesn't do stuff like this. Any time a build script spawns powershell and loads the profile, a kitten joins the choir invisible.
  2. Can you share the snippet of that file that's actually calling that API?

Like, there isn't even a guarantee that the build is running inside a console. This script would always always always fail in that case. Running the user's interactive session profile during a completely non-interactive build process is 100% a mistake every time.

The line in the script that throws is here:

b3738d840e/Source/Public/Set-PowerLinePrompt.ps1 (L171)

Your prescription to add -noprofile is gold. I'll get that changed in our build right away.

Let me know how that works! 😄

Does this definitely not repro outside of Terminal? Judging by this error chain, it will repro outside of Terminal.

It's possible that it repros outside of Terminal. But since adding PowerLine to my powershell profile, I never use conhost.exe because it doesn't support the unicode characters I guess that powerline is using.

Huh, that's unusual. Still, and I hate to suggest, we're doing everything in our power to make sure a console host exists to service these APIs.

At the end of the day, this profile stuff that has a dependency on those console APIs should:

  1. be made to be non-fatal
  2. be under no circumstances running during a build 😄
