Thank you for reporting.
The handle is invalid is the error message when Expect.lua failed to call the Windows classic console API.

Expect.lua calls GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo which is one of the classic console API instead of reading the standard output from the process started by spawn function like linux's expect tools. This API works only on the Windows classic console or its compatible terminal (Command-Prompt, WindowsTerminal, WezTerm and so on) .

I suspect MSYS2 and GitHub runner PowerShell do not have compatiblity with the Windows classic console.
If it is right, sorry, the current version of Expect.lua can not work under them.

Thank you for your explanation.

Do you plan on trying to expand compatibility or should I just close the issue? I guess I will look for a way for a GitHub runner to open a compatible terminal.

Sorry, it is probably difficult for me to support other terminals. Would you please close this issue ?

No problem!
