windows_version() cannot catch Windows version

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hey! Nice work, will be super useful. :)

Unfortunately I have a problem using notify(). Here's the output I get when I try to use it.

> notifier::notify("Test")
Error: invalid version specification ‘Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]’

By digging around I think the problem come from windows_version() function (more specifically, line 21).

The input this function receive must be badly formatted in my case, when tracebacking, here's the input this line receives: Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]. I guess this line was to supposed to extract 6.1.7601 but it doesn't appear to work.


Here are more info:

Thanks, it seems that sometimes version is in lowercase. Easy to fix....

#8 appears to fix the problem on my setup!
