On windows, xpra seems to incorrectly parse the command and its arguments when reconnecting after the ssh connection has been lost.

"C:\Program Files\Xpra\Xpra_cmd.exe" start ssh://leo@strike.wu.ac.at/100 --start-child=qterminal --exit-with-children=yes --audio=no --webcam=no -d ssh,util --ssh="plink"

This connection works fine but xpra crashes when reconnecting after the ssh connection had been lost:

C:\Program Files\Xpra>"C:\Program Files\Xpra\Xpra_cmd.exe" start ssh://leo@strike.wu.ac.at/100 --start-child=qterminal --exit-with-children=yes --audio=no --webcam=no -d ssh,util --ssh="plink"

I could avoid calling Xpra_cmd with the full path of course, but for enabling ssh agent forwarding, I am using:

Xpra_cmd.exe start ssh://leo@remotehost/100 --start-child=qterminal --exit-with-children=yes --audio=no --webcam=no -d ssh --ssh="plink -A"

... which also leads to the same problem when parsing --ssh="plink -A":

Xpra_cmd.exe start ssh://leo@strike.wu.ac.at/100 --start-child=qterminal --exit-with-children=yes --audio=no --webcam=no -d ssh,util --ssh="plink -A"

Is this running from some weird shell? mingw perhaps?
I've tried to reproduce this issue from a cmd.exe window and from the default MSYS2 shell and it worked every time.

The original Xpra_cmd.exe is started from plain cmd.exe. But at that time everything is fine anyways.

However, when reconnecting, xpra does some commandline re-arrangements, I guess that this will be the correct place where reconnect is handled:

xpra/xpra/scripts/main.py

Line 1504 in 4ead552

warn("%s, reconnecting" % exit_str(r))

For some strange reason I don't see the Popen or execv log lines, even though I used -d exec:

However, when reconnecting, xpra does some commandline re-arrangements

It does, but like I said, it works fine for me from cmd.exe and from the MSYS2 shell.
I tested this by killing the user's server-side ssh process.

So did I.

I guess that this will be the correct place where reconnect is handled:

Ah! I think I looked at the wrong place.
Most likely this will be the relevant spot:

xpra/xpra/scripts/main.py

Line 2456 in 4ead552

if opts.reconnect is not False and r in RETRY_EXIT_CODES:

Unfortunately there are no debug logging statements here. Could you add some that document args and attach_args handling for the next test build?

Btw.: I don't know if this is still relevant but there has been a suggestion to use the subprocess module instead of execv on windows:

Could the problem come from here (see #4026):

xpra/xpra/scripts/main.py

Lines 2337 to 2344 in 4ead552

if WIN32:
# see issue #4026
# we have to extract the exe name then get an abs path for it:
# so that someone running xpra using:
# `Xpra-x86_64_6.0-r34669M\xpra_cmd" attach ...`
# will still end up with a valid absolute path
# when the exe wrapper changes directory to `Xpra-x86_64_6.0-r34669M`.
script_file = os.path.basename(script_file)

script_file = os.path.basename(script_file)
os.path.abspath(script_file)

Somehow it is getting confused? (works for me from a python shell)
Or maybe we should also stick it into attach_args[0].

Unfortunately there are no debug logging statements here.

I am a little bit wary of adding logging statements there, so added carefully in 5852c2a, try 6.2-r36679 or later.

I don't know if this is still relevant but there has been a suggestion to use the subprocess module instead of execv on windows

These constraints are fine for us. We definitely don't want the old process lingering around, so terminating it as soon as the new process starts is fine.

I don't think so. script_file and abs_script_file seem to be calculated correctly.

The error output shows that the Xpra_cmd.exe binary is found and executed. (I guess Invalid subcommand comes from the new Xpra_cmd process, right?)

C:\Windows\System32>Invalid subcommand 'Files\\Xpra\\Xpra_cmd.exe'

Files\\Xpra\\Xpra_cmd.exe is passed as the first argument. That's why I suspect a problem with args or respectively attach_args.

try 6.2-r36679 or later.

Thanks! Hopefully this will provide further insights..

OK. Both abs_script_file and attach_args look good:

So the problem could be inside microsofts windows c runtime version of execv?

Microsoft documentation states that spaces are not supported:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/exec-wexec-functions?view=msvc-170

Note

Spaces embedded in strings may cause unexpected behavior; for example, passing _exec the string "hi there" will result in the new process getting two arguments, "hi" and "there". If the intent was to have the new process open a file named "hi there", the process would fail. You can avoid this by quoting the string: ""hi there"".

Maybe that's why subprocess.Popen converts an args sequence to a string before calling CreateProcess:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen

On Windows, if args is a sequence, it will be converted to a string in a manner described in Converting an argument sequence to a string on Windows. This is because the underlying CreateProcess() operates on strings.

Thanks. But this won't work because it only quotes the program path, not the arguments.
The problem is that attach_args is internally converted to a string (unquoted) by _execv before it is passed to CreateProcess.

This illustrates the problem:

"C:\Program Files\Xpra\Python_exec_cmd.exe" "import os; p='C:\\Program Files\\Xpra\\Python_exec_cmd.exe'; args=(p, 'import sys; print(sys.argv)'); print(args); os.execv(p, args)"
('C:\\Program Files\\Xpra\\Python_exec_cmd.exe', 'import sys; print(sys.argv)')

C:\Windows\System32>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.11/site-packages/cx_Freeze/initscripts/__startup__.py", line 141, in run

  File "<string>", line 1

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

I didn't manage to get this working using os.execv(), not even when quoting the args. Most likely this is because shlex.quote() is designed for UNIX shells and subprocess does its own more complicated quoting.

However, we shouldn't use execv() on windows anyways. Windows documentation says that spaces are not handled correctly and python developers strongly advice to use subprocess instead.

Unfortunately windows simply doesn't provide a way to replace the running process like execv() does. So there are basically two choices:

  1. Spawn the new process and immediately exit the current. This is what the windows version of execv does according to this issue. Using subprocess, this would be done like that:
"C:\Program Files\Xpra\Python_exec_cmd.exe" "import sys, subprocess, os; p='C:\Program Files\Xpra\Python_exec_cmd.exe'; args=(p, 'import sys; print(sys.argv)'); print(args); subprocess.Popen(args); os._exit(0)"
  1. Spawn the new process, wait for the result and exit the waiting process with the return code of the new process:
"C:\Program Files\Xpra\Python_exec_cmd.exe" "import sys, subprocess; p='C:\Program Files\Xpra\Python_exec_cmd.exe'; args=(p, 'import sys; print(sys.argv)'); print(args); sys.exit(subprocess.run(args))"

In both variants subprocess takes care of the correct quoting of the command and its args. Both variants work fine on my system.
