MinIO Client (mc) Version 2023-11-20: No Output When Running `mc version` about mc HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you type mc --help ?

from mc.

In the 2021 version, entering mc --help produces an output, but in the new 2023 version, entering mc --help yields no output.

I've conducted some tests with various historical versions of MinIO's mc client and observed an interesting pattern. I found that versions prior to mc.RELEASE.2022-01-05T23-52-51Z.fips behave normally, allowing me to see the output when running mc --help. However, starting with mc.RELEASE.2022-02-02T02-03-24Z.fips and subsequent versions, the mc --help command no longer produces any output.

I'm unsure of the cause of this issue. It seems to be related to the changes introduced in versions post-February 2022. This observation might help in narrowing down the potential source of the problem. Could there be any significant changes or updates in these versions that might affect the output behavior of the mc command?

Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it would help me understand whether this is a bug or a change in the functionality of the mc client.

Do you have a real terminal where you are running this ? ..

Try

export CI=true
mc --help

from mc.

Thank you very much for suggesting setting the CI=true environment variable before running the mc --help command. This solution was extremely effective in my environment, which includes a CentOS terminal created through VMware and a cloud server. The idea of setting the CI=true variable hadn't occurred to me, and most of the tutorials I found online were for versions before 2022, so this issue was rarely mentioned. I am very grateful for your solution and appreciate your help.

It looks your terminal doesn't support some new requirements that our terminal libraries require.

CI=true

is a good workaround.
