cf-console on Windows? (or Cygwin)

[hagemt]

During CF training w/ Dr. Nic, some of my co-workers on Windows were trying to install the cf-console plugin. After installing CF, Go, and configuring GOPATH, the following appears to work: (from cmd)

go get github.com/danhigham/cf-console
cf install-plugin %GOPATH%\bin\cf-console.exe

However, "cf console" thereafter exits silently (returns 1) in console.
I'll post back here when I have a little more debug info for you to go on.

Attempts to execute bin\cf-console.exe produces the following output:

panic: runtime error: index out of range

goroutine 1 [running]:

Not sure this was ever intended to work on Windows, (or Cygwin) but @drnic and I might be curious.

Forgot to mention: I'm (personally) in an environment (Cygwin) with a working SSH client, and I can provide whatever else might be required to figure out what's going on. (or, how I can help smooth things out for them on Windows) Thanks!

P.S. Looks like the referenced https://github.com/danhigham/cf-console/blob/master/console.go#L49 is:

plugin.Start(&ConsolePlugin{})

hey @hagemt, I got this working just fine in Cygwin (see the image). Are you running "cf console <app name>" or running the binary directly?
