git-istage: Unhandled Exception on Windows 7

Hello @terrajobst

I have installed the tool via this command dotnet tool install git-istage -g and I get the following error when running the git istage command, or git istage .:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid
   at System.ConsolePal.get_CursorVisible()
   at GitIStage.Application.Run() in /home/vsts/work/1/s/src/git-istage/Application.cs:line 33
   at GitIStage.Program.Main() in /home/vsts/work/1/s/src/git-istage/Program.cs:line 32

I just created a folder and within that, I have created a new git repository by caling git init, then added a simple txt file and add Hello World text inside that. then I ran git istage . and I get the above mentioned error.

worth to note that I am running Windows 7

and here is my dotnet --info output

@shahabganji Ah, funny. Works in VS Code indeed. That’s really odd…

I just upgraded from 0.2.2 to 0.2.29, and it’s still failing under Git for Windows (using bash as shell), however, the stacktrace is now:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid
   at System.ConsolePal.set_CursorVisible(Boolean value)
   at GitIStage.Application.Run() in /home/vsts/work/1/s/src/git-istage/Application.cs:line 86
   at GitIStage.Program.Main() in /home/vsts/work/1/s/src/git-istage/Program.cs:line 32

Which makes sense, as usage of get_CursorVisible was removed in 9b9814e, however, set_CursorVisible is still there on L106.

@shahabganji I’ll check tomorrow on my Windows box.

@shahabganji Does the command $ git-istage even work (so without having git invoking istage)? Since that might be an issue with .NET Global tools. I have the same on ZSH. I have solved that by following @gabrielrb approach.

When I then run istage, from a git repository, I still get this (and mine issue #9).
