Building Go Project, "Panic: The handle is invalid."

[crdp...@gmail.com]

I went and ran my code, and this error only happens when terminal.MakeRaw() is ran. I've also noticed that this error only happens on windows, and not on linux. 

I've never encountered a runtime error before, so I'm not familiar with diagnosing problems like this one.

>go run main.go

panic: The handle is invalid.


goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
        C:/Users/[usr]/Documents/Programming/go/[Path to Project]
n.go:37 +0x46c


goroutine 2 [runnable]:
runtime.forcegchelper()
        c:/go/src/runtime/proc.go:90
runtime.goexit()
        c:/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:2232 +0x1


goroutine 3 [runnable]:
runtime.bgsweep()
        c:/go/src/runtime/mgc0.go:82
runtime.goexit()
        c:/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:2232 +0x1


goroutine 4 [runnable]:
runtime.runfinq()
        c:/go/src/runtime/malloc.go:712
runtime.goexit()
        c:/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:2232 +0x1
exit status 2

I can share the code upon request if it is deemed necessary.

Thanks in advance.

The file descriptor you are passing in is probably wrong. You either want 1 or 2 I think, for stdout and stderr respectively.

Oh, I don't think this package works on windows FYI

Really? Are you sure it doesn't work on windows, or can you give me a link? If this turns out to be as simple as "you can't do it on windows", then that could makes things easier for me.

This package uses terminal.MakeRaw() for *nix but this for windows https://github.com/howeyc/gopass/blob/master/win.go
