Have same issue.
It seems that this issue may be related by the some way with changes made in the Argu library.

Can you please try to send me a PR?

@forki, sorry, but I have no idea how to fix this issue. I just have a suggestion that mentioned commit may be a root cause of this issue.

Can confirm. Pinning Paket to 3.31.4 works for now.

Ok. Will revert argu update when I'm home and hopefully @eiriktsarpalis can send a pull request with showing me the error. It's especially weird that this only happens on mono.

[alexsorokoletov]

as @nosami pointed, you just need to specify required version as argument to paket.bootstrapper.exe

paket.bootstrapper.exe 3.31.5

Glad the discussion is live as our FAKE scripts failed this morning :)

[varon]

Also getting this on Teamcity + Fake builds on mono/linux. Pinning to 3.31.5 works around it, but isn't ideal.

[forki]

ok I reverted. can someone please confirm 3.31.7 is good again?

[alexey-belous]

I've checked. 3.31.7 works. Thanks!)

[TheAngryByrd]

Seems to work for me 🎸

[varon]

Thanks!

[eiriktsarpalis]

@TheAngryByrd @alexey-belous Can you confirm that evaluating the Console.WindowWidth property on docker returns 0? If so, this is related to an issue fixed in Argu 3.6.1

[forki]

ok I updated argu to 3.6.1 and hope the bug is gone. Can someone please verify that Pakt 3.31.8 still works on mono?

[alexey-belous]

@forki, 3.31.8 works for me.

[forki]

thanks everyone!
