Hi,

While build vim tests, the terminal gets weird and its output is broken.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<ng0> [...] some build (no idea which one, I'm in a long series of
      builds) just broke the output in a way that I'm only getting
      gibberish for the renmaining tail of buildlogs. iirc vim builds
      (specifically: the testsuite) would do something similar to your
      open terminal.

<ng0> "but what do I mean by gibberish?"
<ng0> well:

<ng0> etc
<roptat> oh yes, vim tests :/  [15:25]
<roptat> is that with guix build or guix package?  [15:26]
<ng0> build
<roptat> I haven't seen anything like that before and I'm not familia with UI
	 code  [15:27]
<ng0> wiht building vim you'd get no problems a while back. it would just
      continue building and only when builds finish make your terminal act
      funny
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers,
Clément

ng0, could you send the version of ‘guix-daemon’ and that of ‘guix’ as
well as the exact output you’re seeing?

TIA,
Ludo’.

I experimented a bit with updating our version on vim and the gibberish
went away. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in upgrading it.

Hello.

Efraim Flashner said that the garbled output while building
vim disappeared when he updated it.
It has been two years and both vim and vim-full have been
updated in guix since the last comment on this issue.

Checking cuirass, there is no garbled output:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/dnj9wljcck9vdwgp7dwxk00qnnk1g3c5-vim-full-8.2.0411
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/yajzgb2zlkklg5l9cpnsimrsjzmvq5x2-vim-8.2.0411

Building locally,
My terminal survived and didn't notice any output getting garbled.
(i am using emacs-vterm)

-----
$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 2971ed57345ee4e00058efeaf27c6a0790fdc9dd

$ guix build vim --no-substitutes
$ guix build vim-full --no-substitutes
-----

Going to go ahead and close out.
