Terminate batch job bug (I think?)

[volb]

When I boot a WEBrick server and CTRL-C to close it, the running server stuff goes away. Then:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Y
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Y
'Y' is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc

And then I can input other commands. I'd love for this to get fixed, it slows down my Nanoc workflow by a lot. Thanks!

Are you sure this is unique to Cmder? I've seen this happen when using Ctrl-C in a regular windows console.

You can double tap the c in ctrl-c to break the process to really exit instead of pressing Y

Doesn't doing that give you similar weird behavior? If not maybe conEmu is not handling the interactive message quite right?

It's not related to cmder AFAIK. In your ruby installation folder /bin, remove (backup first) 'rails.bat' and rename 'rails' to 'rails.rb'. Make sure Windows can handle .rb extension properly. I did that and ctrl-c works as expected like in *nix environment.

This is related to clink I assume. Try changing this line

Cmd has that odd behavior of asking that question independently of the process.

clink and cmder have moved on a lot I can't seem to reproduce this.

I tried serving a node static server and closing it with ctrl-c once stops it as expected.

Probably what samvasko pointed to, there is a setting inside \cmder\config\settings file:

# name: Auto-answer terminate prompt
# type: enum
#  0 = Disabled
#  1 = Answer 'Y'
#  2 = Answer 'N'
# Automatically answers cmd.exe's 'Terminate batch job (Y/N)?' prompts. 0 =
# disabled, 1 = answer 'Y', 2 = answer 'N'.
terminate_autoanswer = 1
