I am trying to get Drush running on my local development site. Drush & Cygwin are installed and the cygwin command prompt responds to Drush commands such as "Drush topic" but precedes the command output with:

"which: no tput in + a long list of directory paths"

and then gives the topic list. When I respond with 16 (Drupal help for error messages) I get:

fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource [warning] output.inc:29

I believe I have to add path definitions, but am not certain where to define them. My current configuration on a windows OS has apache & php under C:/Program Files/acquai drupal/ (I used their setup for php and apache, but not their Drupal Site setup.) I have Drush located under C:/Drush and my site located under C:/Documents and Settings/admin/my-site.

Ashlar seems to have found a solution to the tput problem in his own bug report 'by adding the add-on gygwin command tput from the cygwin installation program "setup.exe". The actual command i not on the list. Look for the "ncurses" package which includes the Tput utility.' ... see http://drupal.org/node/1361510#comment-5327144

Have a look at Drush Windows Installer (old instructions).

This package installs a standalone Drush, and adjust the Windows PATH to point to itself and its supporting executables. You can use this to learn how to set the PATH.

  • Thanks, That is what I used to install Drush in the first place. I reinstalled it, but no change. I submitted the problem as a bug report, so we'll see if they have any ideas.

  • OK. Also, I did get to my Drush Windows environment, and tried "drush topic", selecting item 16. I was able to see your error. Good luck with the issue!
