stdout is not a tty. Using bash for node + tape + tap-spec

Was looking at a tape + tap video and tried to get it to work.
OS: Windows 7 Git Bash Shell

node main.js | ./node_modules/.bin/tap-spec

stdout is not a tty.

main.js:

var test = require('tape');
var add = require('./add');

test('add: two numbers add correctly', function(t) {
var actual = add(1,2);
var expected = 3;
t.equal(actual, expected);
t.end();
});

add.js:

module.exports = function(a, b) {
return a + b;
};

winpty node main.js | ./node_modules/.bin/tap-spec doesn't fix the problem.

Solution

Diagnose :

Theres nothing wrong with the code, I get the following output : (OS : ArchLinux)

  add: two numbers add correctly

    ✔ should be equal


  total:     1
  passing:   1
  duration:  14ms

Its probably a problem with Windows 7 Git Bash Shell

I read somewhere : sending output through a pipe is broken with Git Bash

To discard it run the following command :

node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)"

For it to work you need the following output : true

Solution (for Windows):

$ node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)"
false

Using the winpty tool, it creates a hidden console and marshals I/O between it and Cygwin/GitBashshell emulated pty :

$ winpty node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)"
true
