Decide the console state instead of catching the throw - #259
Merged
Conversation
PrintHeader stopped crashing headless startups in 6.0.1 by wrapping the
width read in catch (IOException). The state it was catching is directly
observable, so it is an if now.
Console.WindowWidth needs one of the three std handles to be a console -
.NET falls back stdout, stderr, stdin before giving up - so that, and not
"is a console attached", is the predicate. Measured on the packed 6.0.2:
no console all three redirected WindowWidth throws header 21 wide
AllocConsole stdout is a console WindowWidth 120 header 120 wide
AllocConsole, all handles piped all three redirected WindowWidth throws header 21 wide
The third row is why GetConsoleWindow() is wrong here: a console is
attached, and the width read still throws.
ConsoleHelper carries the title side too, where the predicate is the
opposite one - GetConsoleTitle takes no handle and needs the process to own
a console - so NosCore, Injector and ParserInputGenerator can drop their own
try { Console.Title = ... } catch blocks.
Tested: builds clean, tests green (2 tests, both new).

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change can still let console-related IOException failures escape when logging headers or updating titles, including valid attached-console states with unusable handles. That can disrupt startup logging or title updates, so the current head needs these exception paths fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

HasWindowSize counted stdin, and a console input handle has no screen buffer, so Console.WindowWidth still threw for a process whose output is piped while stdin is on the console - Server.exe > log.txt 2>&1 from a shell. Measured against the packed 6.0.2: stdout+stderr piped, stdin on the console WindowWidth throws PrintHeader threw Console.WindowWidth reads the buffer through stdout, then stderr, then stdin, and only the first two can succeed, so the predicate is those two. Same case now falls back to the headless width and prints. The tests asserted nothing beyond "did not throw". A test process cannot choose whether it owns a console, so each case now asserts the half its own state can prove and stands aside for the other: the title is unchanged when nothing can carry it, and is "NosCore - Port : 4000" when something can; the banner is 20 wide with no readable size, and Console.WindowWidth - 1 with one. CanCarryTitle is public so a test can tell which half applies. Tested: 4 tests, the two that need an owned console skip under dotnet test. All four console states re-measured against the packed 6.0.2, all print.

A throwaway probe against the packed 6.0.2, four console states:
GetConsoleWindowConsole.WindowWidthPrintHeader0x0IOExceptionAllocConsole0xCE0F1A120AllocConsole, all three handles to a file0x3406A2IOExceptionAllocConsole, stdout+stderr to a file, stdin on the console0x470E8AIOExceptionRow three is why
GetConsoleWindow()is the wrong predicate for the width: a console is attached and the read still throws. It is the right one for the title, which is whyConsoleHelpercarries both. Row four is the one that caught the stdin mistake — it threw before the fix and prints after it.Why the title side is here too
NosCore,NosCore.InjectorandNosCore.ParserInputGeneratoreach carry their owntry { Console.Title = …; } catch { }. They all already depend on this package, so the helper lets all three drop it — NosCoreIO/NosCore#2323 is the first consumer, and itsNosCore.Core.ConsoleTitleis replaced by this one once 6.0.2 is out.Behaviour is unchanged for the title: it still only fires on Windows with output not redirected, so
Server.exe > log.txtkeeps the title untouched exactly as before.Testing
