Description
Feature request
Feature description
TTY emulation in windows (currently only supported elsewhere).
Implementation considerations
Breadcrumbs in code:
- Guarding against windows emulation in
launch/actions/execute_process.py - Test in
test/launch/actions/test_emulate_tty.py
Turning the guard off on windows:
- Does not result in a tty
- Other spurious unicode errors
Other:

Research direction
Start with the Windows guard in launch/actions/execute_process.py and the existing coverage in test/launch/actions/test_emulate_tty.py. Investigate the stated limitation of Python's pty module on Windows and the winpty option; done means Windows TTY emulation works without the reported lack of a tty or spurious Unicode errors, with the test coverage updated.
