MySQL Git Bash winpty mysqldump stdout is not a tty and stdin is not a tty

Question

Please help with MySQL Git Bash winpty mysqldump. "winpty mysqldump" is not working in Git Bash. Here the details of the error:

Git Bash

$ winpty mysqldump -u root -p employeedb > "E:\Working\SQL\MySQL\MySQL-Queries\mysqldump\SQL-dump\employeedb_backup.sql"
stdout is not a tty

$ winpty mysql -u root -p employeedb < "E:\Working\SQL\MySQL\MySQL-Queries\mysqldump\SQL-dump\employeedb_backup.sql"
stdin is not a tty

However Git CMD works fine:

Git CMD

C:\Users\Aspire>mysqldump -u root -p employeedb > "E:\Working\SQL\MySQL\MySQL-Queries\mysqldump\SQL-dump\employeedb_backup.sql"
Enter password: ****************

C:\Users\Aspire>mysql -u root -p employeedb < "E:\Working\SQL\MySQL\MySQL-Queries\mysqldump\SQL-dump\employeedb_backup.sql"
Enter password: ****************

Git Bash works with winpty mysqldump and winpty mysql without ">" and "<"

$ winpty mysqldump -u root -p employeedb

Enter password: ****************

Please help with winpty mysqldump/winpty mysql and stdout/stdin tty?

Git Bash "mysqldump" without winpty does not work:

The command $ mysqldump -u root -p employeedb > "E:\Working\SQL\MySQL\MySQL-Queries\mysqldump\SQL-dump\employeedb_backup.sql" just freezes.

Please refer to the "employeedb_backup.sql" script size 0 KB.

Thanks

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with git bash on Windows 10 (using the php command).

I fixed it by appending the extension (.exe) to php.

julien@SED-221-10 MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs
$ php -v > php
stdout is not a tty

julien@SED-221-10 MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs
$ php.exe -v > php

EDIT:

You can also add an alias if you don't want to append .exe to all your commands like so :

$ printf "\nalias mysql='mysql.exe'" >> ~/.bashrc
