Title: win: "comx:" not recognized as serial port
Type: Bug Version: 8.6.10
Submitter: oehhar Created on: 2020-12-09 16:50:27
Subsystem: 99. Other Assigned To: jan.nijtmans

Description:

Serial port names are not detected as such if postpended by ":".

E.g.

% open com1: r+
couldn't open "com1:": no such file or directory
% open com1 r+
file2672fb0

This arises in the following circumstances:

  • Windows platform
  • Wish console window (not tclsh)
  • Interactive mode

This is the continuation of this TCL ticket:

https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview?name=ed5be77734.

It is opened here (too), as the presence of wish is a requirement that the bug shows up.

Please look to this ticket, to get the information history.

Thank you, Harald

This turned out to be a Tcl bug, not a Tk bug. Which is fixed now. Closing.
