Question

How do I get WebStorm to open a terminal?

\"java.io.IOEXception:couldn\'t create PTY\"

git

Answer 1

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /k "D:\Program Files\cmder\vendor\init.bat

Answer 2

I had the same error with Cmder as my custom terminal. I ran PhpStorm 2018.2 as admin. That fixed the issue for me. No double quotes needed.

Answer 3

As of 2017 "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" in the shell path works perfectly on x64.

Answer 4

After the latest update the path needs to be in enclosed in quotes:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

Answer 5

Go To View --> Tool Windows --> Terminal (or) Just Alt + F12.

Answer 6

If you want to use Windows Command Prompt you will need to add double quotes, so cmd.exe becomes "cmd.exe".
