Python throws IOError in some scripts in Windows Integrated Terminal

[jacek-dargiel]

Running docker-compose commands fails when running from the integrated powershell terminal. Running same commands in the standalone powershell terminal works fine. Here's the failing message:

> docker-compose -f .\docker-compose.dev.yml pull

This looks like another instance of this issue - that one was reported to the docker repo, but the reporter does note that this only happens in the VS Code integrated terminal.

Also, please note, that I didn't have this problem up until today when I've installed the Fall Creators Update to Windows.

@jacek-dargiel are you using a python virtual environment?

[jacek-dargiel]

Not sure. How can I check? I do have python 2.7 installed locally.

[Ahryman40k]

Hi.
It seems I have the same issue with docker and vscode since I installed fall creator 2 days ago.
In my case I have python 2.7 installed and python extensions in vscode.

[TheWozMSN]

Docker --version and Docker-Machine --version works as expected. Only Docker-Compose --version is failing in my preliminary test. Hope this helps

[Tyriar]

@jacek-dargiel you would probably know if you were using it 🙂

@Ahryman40k @TheWozMSN are you both on Windows?

[TheWozMSN]

I am on the current insider build of windows 10. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

@Tyriar do I need to install python for docker compose to work in vscode? I got a brand new windows 10 installed running 1709 and I have the same issue

Further Comment. Docker-Compose works in a regular powershell command window. Not with Integrated Powershell

[stwessl]

Think this might need to be taken up in the docker compose repo. If it is not already

Could anyone look at the bottom of the stacktrace and find out what is making it fail?

File "site-packages\colorama\ansitowin32.py", line 174, in write_plain_text

It might be something to do with the env?

Last time I used this command was 3 months ago, and it had worked then. Most notable changes are updating to Fall Creators Update (non-Insider), several updates to docker, and several VS Code updates. Everything was up to date the last time it worked, and everything is up to date now.

Like the OP, regular PS window works fine.

Taking a look at the stack trace, it seems the error propagates from Colorama, a Python terminal colouring library. I'm terrible at Python, so I can't see any obvious reasons for it to be the cause.

I've spotted the issue at:

• StackOverflow, with VS Code used
• Colorama GitHub repo, with command prompt used

Looks like this is a bug in Colorama triggered by unknown circumstances.

That's not a "fix", just a workaround.

Still an issue with version: 1.20.1 of vscode on windows 10 with docker-compose 1.18.0 (screenshot below)

But on a positive note I may have discovered a

Possible Real Workaround/Solution

1. Run docker-compose version and note the output

2. Download the latest nightly build of the docker-compose binary from https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

3. Backup your existing docker-compose.exe file (or don't blame me when this possibly doesn't work and you want to go back 😇 )
   Mine was located here: C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin

4. Copy the downloaded nightly file to the above path and rename it to docker-compose.exe

5. Run docker-compose version to confirm you're using the new binary

The version I'm using that's working so far:

[jongio]

@bitcrazed , @chrisdias - Are you tracking this as a generic VS Code issue or is this one related only to docker? The reason I ask is because I'm seeing this with any colorizer. Shall I use this issue to track generic colorizer fails or should I open a new issue?

Also, do you have an ETA on this fix?

Thanks,
Jon

[copeland3300]

I don't think this is related to docker, as I'm not using it on my machine but I am getting the issue with the integrated terminal.

It doesn't seem to happen when I run a separate PowerShell window and run the python script. I should also mention I'm using Anaconda 5.1.0 for python 2.7.

When initially opening the integrated terminal, Code seems to be running the following line
& cmd /k "C:\Anaconda2\Scripts\activate.bat & PowerShell"

I should also note that this does not happen when running the file using debug. It runs correctly to the end.

[chrisdias]

@jonbgallant as I understand from @Tyriar this is a windows issue, not a VS Code, Docker, or VSCode Docker (extension) issue.

[Tyriar]

Yes it's a problem with Windows (see #36630 (comment), #36630 (comment)). With a similar issue in the past I kept it open to make it easier for people to find the issue and not create a stream of duplicates for me to handle. We'll close this off when stable Windows starts getting the fix.

[jayshrivastava]

I was having a similar problem (post patch I assume v. 1.18.0 of Docker Compose), so I came here. In case anyone else has the same issue, I'll leave this for reference.

It was a longpaths issue for me due to Jenkins giving the project folder a unique code. I was able to complete my compose using powershell, but Jenkins gave my these errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "docker-compose", line 6, in <module>

adsfdasf\\asdfasfdasfdaf\\asdfasdfasf.JPG'

Basically, my copy of the www folder in my compose file failed because the path was too long. I had to enable long paths on the windows server I had docker and jenkins installed on.

  www:
        build: .
        ports:
            - "8001:80"
        volumes:
            **- ./www:/var/www/html/**
        links:
            - db
        networks:
            - default

All I had to do was follow this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/

[bapcyk]

I have the same problems but this is not related to:

• Windows (I run the same command in powershell.exe/cmd.exe out of Visual Studio Code many times and never get this error)
• long paths (path is short, less 32 chars)
• virtual env (I don't use virtual environment)
• docker (I don't use docker)

And this bug happens very often, for example, several times in a row

[ronaldgreeff]

I have the same error and all I'm doing is running python code with no modules (also no virtualenv)
If I sequentially "run python file in terminal", the error references random lines each time (line 15, line 25, line 34) and then works, then throws the error again.

Windows 10, Python 2.7.14

EDIT: I posted this comment before finding this - https://www.bountysource.com/issues/52206767-random-io-errors-on-windows-10-0-16299-64. Apparently it's a bug in Win 10.

[Wosi]

I was facing the same issues in November 2017 with the Fall Creators Update. I was able to delay this update until today. Now I'm unable to work with VSCode since all my compile and test scripts don't work anymore. I probably have to look for a different editor while this issue is open ;-(

I really beg you to fix this issue as soon as possible! I really don't want to abandon my beloved VSCode.

My original issue was this: #38068

[jongio]

I think it has something to do with print function - I was able to get around it by wrapping my print calls in a try block and then using print() in the except block, like this:

// Using python click

    def echo(self, text, color="", dim=False):
        try:
            click.secho(text, fg=color, dim=dim)
        except:
            print (text)

I've also had luck putting the futures print at the top of my python script:

from __future__ import print_function

[NicolasDorier]

Same issue here. Same command work in a separate powershell, not in the integrated terminal.
