The --recursive switch of git leads to execCmdEx blocking on macOS(v14.3).

[danny-su]

Description

The following code will block forever on macOS. The execCmd function works well, but execCmdEx doesn't.

import std/osproc

when isMainModule:
  echo("Hello, World!")
  discard execCmdEx("git clone --recursive https://github.com/fowlmouth/nake /Users/danny/Downloads/temp/x")
  echo("OK")

Cannot reproduce it on the Linux. Did you check your internet connection?

@ringabout I haven't installed linux, the internet connection is ok, because execCmd function works well.
