1744838 - Enable HG interactive mode on Windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: configwizard, enhancement)

Description

[Mitchell Hentges [:mhentges] 🦀]

It's unclear what the specific requirements are to do this - perhaps just have windows-curses installed into the associated Python environment? Unsure.

However, manually enabling it appears to work on MSYS2.

We probably need to add an else to this section of configwizard to force curses or unset text as the interface - then as long as our environment is configured it should Just Work.

Comment 2

[Connor Sheehan [:sheehan]]

Just noticed we also have another curses check as well. We might be able to remove the check from this comment and prefer to set curses via tweakdefaults, and then simply set/unset ui.interface=text when we can't import curses in our environment.

Attachment: Bug 1744838: Remove `ui.interface = text` if curses is available

Also, re-running configwizard should set/remove ui.interface
according to whether curses can be imported in the current Python
environment.

Merges _checkcurses() into _checktweakdefaults() since
tweakdefaults enables ui.interface = curses itself.
