[OK]

Edit: The error is being thrown on this function:

https://github.com/Tyriar/node-pty/blob/master/src/windowsPtyAgent.ts#L36-L80

Edit 2 Looks like my config file was somehow broken (possibly with an invalid shell command?). @habby1337 @fmontes Try deleting ~/.hyper.js

Closing this as a fix seems to be found and due to inactivity since. Please let us know if you have any remaining/other issues! Also feel free to ask questions in https://zeit.chat 🎉

Had the exact same issue on w7
Anyway, I wanted Hyper for PowerShell and my shell config was wrong.

had this: shell: '{backtick}C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe{backtick}'
instead of this (remove backticks):
shell: 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe'

Am facing the same problem. there's no text on the screen. When i open a new tab it throws out the same error. not able to do any with it..how can i solve it ?

[euntaik]

I had the same issue and my .hyper.js had shell set as bash.
Changed below line
shell: 'bash',
to
shell: '',

in file %APPDATA%\Hyper\.hyper.js

I fix this error by running cmd.exe as administrator

[rstacruz]

This is happening to me right now and the fixes in this thread don't help. Let me try to find out more.

Windows 10, WSL2

EDIT: It was some plugins that made this mess up, I just emptied out the plugins list.

EDIT: It was some plugins that made this mess up, I just emptied out the plugins list.

FWIW, my .hyper.js file has an empty array for both plugins and localPlugins, and I get symlink errors.

Well technically you have to uninstall all the plugins you have.
