zpty: can't open pseudo terminal: no such file or directory

[wzxu]

Was pretty excited to try out zsh with my prezto configs. Unfortunately there seems to be some problem causing zpty not working properly so I keep seeing errors of "can't open pseudo terminal" and "no such pty command":

After some Googling I think it might be the same cause as this issue: sindresorhus/pure#117
As you can see there are also no /dev/ptyXX in ish but /dev/pts.

Any possibility this could be fixed? Or any workaround?

This makes 5 issues that will be solved once I implement ptys 😛

Done?

You wouldn't get the same error, though I don't know if it would work.

Seems to work, except VCS info doesn't show in the prompt. The bug preventing that is #164 I think.

I'm following this guide for using ZSH on Windows via MINGW64. My .zshrc looks like this:

source ~/antigen.zsh
antigen use oh-my-zsh
antigen bundle mafredri/zsh-async
antigen bundle sindresorhus/pure
antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-completions
antigen apply

I get these errors:

(zpty):zpty:12: can't open pseudo terminal: bad file descriptor
async_init:zpty:14: no such pty command: _async_test
/c/Users/robert/Nextcloud/Development/Home/Robert/.antigen/bundles/sindresorhus/pure/pure.zsh: line 566: prompt${^prompt_opts[@]}: bad substitution

Is it related to this issue?

@rcdailey I would recommend WSL for running zsh on windows
