Description

Using bacon (e.g. bacon run) then console::Term::stdout().size_checked() returns None.

I checked other crates, and the only one returning a size, is crossterm, i.e. crossterm::terminal::size().

Whereas all the following returns None:

  • terminal_size::terminal_size()
  • termsize::get()
  • termize::dimensions()

Mainly mentioning it, in case anyone wants to search for potential solutions.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with bacon and console::Term::stdout().size_checked(), then trace the implementation of size_checked(). Compare its behavior with crossterm::terminal::size() and the other terminal-size crates mentioned. Done means terminal dimensions are returned when running under bacon, with a regression test covering the case.
