Windows Terminal...not working since update to 2024.1.29.0 64-bit

avatar

Since updating to RDM 2024.1.29.0 64-bit (via winget upgrade --all), Windows Terminal support in RDM is now broken for me (on at least two machines tested so far).

I can't get it to open at all - the tab appears but is not switch to, and then a few seconds later disappears. Have been using this profile for a couple years now quite happily.

I cannot find any useful logs or visibility on what is happening in RDM.

I see this in your Changelog and suspect it might be responsible:

Fixed an issue where wrong Windows Terminal would be launched in certain circumstances

wsl.exe --update in a powershell window reports WSL is up to date, and there's no issue opening the profile in Windows terminal itself. It's a Ubuntu 22.04 installation.

(Should not that no profile works, i.e. it is not just the Ubuntu profile that doesn't work - my Powershell, Command Prompt etc. also don't work - the issue very much seems to be that RDM can't start Windows Terminal itself anymore.

Hello,

We will investigate this issue.

Could you give us the following additional information, as that might help us pinpoint what exactly is causing this:

  • What version were you on before updating to 2024.1.29.0?

  • Do you reproduce the same behavior with 2024.1.28.0 and 2024.1.23.0?

  • Could you post a screenshot of one of your entries that isn't working? Please blank out any sensitive information like credentials or hosts.

  • Do you run RDM with elevated privileges (administrator)?

Regards,

Hubert Mireault

Not completely sure which version I was on before, sorry, although I do update regularly (either when prompted by RDM itself, or every month or so I run winget upgrade)

Is there an easy way to re-install older versions without stuffing up my config - running the installers just exits with a message about a newer version being installed.

I do not run RDM with elevated priviliges - I am only using it for SSH/Windows Terminal and WinSCP and with all of those I use a private key to log in etc. (if needed, it's not on Windows Terminal/WSL obviously)

(Note I have also tried a bunch of new setups with Windows Terminal as the type, can't get anything to work - they all do the same 'tab appears in background then disappears' thing.)
