new method failing to work (ENV var) about wexpect

[nmz787]

(and since the logging doesn't work, I can't really verify if things are working as expected in the spawned shell)

[nmz787]

hacking wexpect\host.py in the class SpawnBase to change def expect

from:

    def expect(self, pattern, timeout=-1, searchwindowsize=None):
        compiled_pattern_list = self.compile_pattern_list(pattern)
        return self.expect_list(compiled_pattern_list, timeout, searchwindowsize)

to

    def expect(self, pattern, timeout=-1, searchwindowsize=None):
        compiled_pattern_list = self.compile_pattern_list(pattern)
        retval = self.expect_list(compiled_pattern_list, timeout, searchwindowsize)
        try:
            self.logfile_read.write(self.before)
        except:
            pass
        return retval

gets the logging to work again... not sure what the more elegant way to fix this is though... my code has 64 places using shell.expect... I could add a wrapper in my code for that call, but it seems a little uglier than I'd like.

Can you suggest something better?

Sorry for the delay. I can reproduce the issue, which is a more general issue, in this, v3.3.0 version.

I found the issue. Do you really need the SpawnSocket? The SpawnPipe is more stable. The SpawnSocket, has not CI tests yet.

Please use v3.2.0, (pip install wexpect==3.2.0)
or
SpawnPipe (os.environ['WEXPECT_SPAWN_CLASS'] = 'SpawnSocket')

while I fix the issue.

3.3.1.dev9 solve this issue:

pip install wexpect==3.3.1.dev9

[raczben]

v3.3.1 fixes this issue.

Upgrade your installation with:

python -m pip install --upgrade wexpect
