cmder / ConEmu truncates stdout; bower installs don't work

[chase-miller]

Version

150913 alpha

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch cmder
2. Use git to clone https://github.com/johnpapa/ng-demos.git
3. With node / npm installed, run npm install -g bower gulp karma-cli nodemon
4. Navigate to ng-demo/modular
5. Run npm install

Expected Results

npm executes and completes entirely. All bower dependencies are resolved.

Actual Results

npm fails saying that bower couldn't resolve a dependency.

Root Cause

ConEmu's ConEmuHk.dll has a bug in which it truncates stdout to 4096 characters. This causes git/bower (and others I'm sure) to fail. See bower/bower#852 (comment) for more info.

Workaround

1. Download the latest version of ConEmu (ConEmuPack.150813c at the time of this writing).
2. Copy and replace ConEmu/ConEmuHk.dll and ConEmu/ConEmuHk64.dll to cmder/vendor/conemu-maximus5/ConEmu

I don't know what other bugs may surface as a result of this workaround.

Recommendation

Update cmder's distribution of ConEmu to the latest as it appears that this bug has been fixed.

[MartiUK]

The version of conemu you mention 150813c is behind what we are currently targeting in development, (151119 as of a3e2d75). I would suggest this be closed unless you can reproduce it with that version.

Agreed.
