The OSProcess implementation for Windows is incomplete. I recommend

an alternative for Windows.
And GitFileTree (the main reason for trying to crash the external process
support on Pharo :) ) uses ProcessWrapper on Windows and OSProcess elsewhere.
All the reports about the unstability of GitFileTree on Windows relate to the
combination GitFileTree + ProcessWrapper.
Now, if someone knowledgeable with ProcessWrapper wants to check the code
calling it, I'm all for it :)
The only code I could find is MCFileTreeGitRepository class's
runProcessWrapperGitCommand: aCommandString in: aDirectory
| r |
(Smalltalk at: #ProcessWrapper ifAbsent: [ self error: 'Please load
ProcessWrapper' ])
ifNotNil: [ :pW |
r := pW new
useStdout;
startWithShellCommand:
self gitCommand , ' -C "' ,
(MCFileTreeFileUtils current directoryPathString: aDirectory) , '" ' ,
aCommandString;
upToEnd ].
^ r
What is the actual problem with the code?
Why is the command executed in a shell?

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately none of these really explain what the
problem with OSProcess is. I see there were attempts to try using
ProcessWrapper instead of OSProcess on windows, but there's no feedback
on that thread, so there may be a solution out there, but no one is using
it.

Well some of the experience can be mitigated with tools like
GitHub for Windows, but the main problem is that git with
Pharo is incredibly unstable on Windows and crashes
constantly.
That's our experience
with it so my colleague had to switch to pure filetree out
of frustration.
This however is NOT problem of git, it's problem of
OSProcess. But it does render it almost unusable for now.
(At least for us.)
What's the problem with OSProcess on windows?
