AssertWT

Assert that a Python script is run in the Windows Terminal ‘wt.exe’ instead of the standard ‘conhost.exe’ console.

>>> import assertwt
>>> assertwt.restart()

By default the script is run with cmd.exe and the window is closed when the script ends.

# Default behaviour: cmd.exe and window closes after script:
assertwt.restart(["wt", "-d", assertwt.CD, "cmd", "/C", assertwt.ARGV])

# cmd.exe and windows does not close after script:
assertwt.restart(["wt", "-d", assertwt.CD, "cmd", "/K", assertwt.ARGV])

# Powershell and window closes after script:
assertwt.restart(["wt", "-d", assertwt.CD, "powershell", "-Command", assertwt.ARGV])

# Powershell and windows does not close after script:
assertwt.restart(["wt", "-d", assertwt.CD, "powershell", "-NoExit", "-Command", assertwt.ARGV])

# New tab in existing Windows Terminal window:
assertwt.restart(["wt", "new-tab", "-d", assertwt.CD, "cmd", "/K", assertwt.ARGV])
