Not very useful since SendWindowChangeRequest(...) always returns true, but let's discuss.

Hmm, I dont think SendWindowChangeRequest SHOULD always be true. For example a change to size of 0,0,0,0 should fail and probably will on some pty implementations.

It.IsAny<uint>(), It.IsAny<uint>(),
It.IsAny<uint>(), It.IsAny<uint>())).Returns(false);
Assert.IsFalse(shellStream.ChangeWindow(80, 25, 0, 0));
}

[TestMethod]
public void WindowChangeRequest_ShouldReturnTrueWhenResultSucceeds()
{
var shellStream = CreateShellStream();
_channelSessionMock.Setup(s => s.IsOpen).Returns(true);
_channelSessionMock.Setup(s => s.SendWindowChangeRequest(
It.IsAny<uint>(), It.IsAny<uint>(),
It.IsAny<uint>(), It.IsAny<uint>())).Returns(true);
Assert.IsTrue(shellStream.ChangeWindow(80, 25, 0, 0));
_channelSessionMock.Verify(v => v.SendWindowChangeRequest(80,25,0,0), Times.Once());
}

private ShellStream CreateShellStream()
{
_sessionMock.Setup(p => p.ConnectionInfo).Returns(_connectionInfoMock.Object);

Please have it throw an ObjectDisposedException when _channel is null, and an InvalidOperationException if the channel is closed. Please document this as such and add corresponding unit tests.

I would've prefered to have the method on ChannelSession also throw if the channel were closed, but that would be considered a breaking change. That method currently either throws or returns true, never false. It also returns true if the channel is closed 😌

This method is essentially a wrapper for SendWindowChangeRequest which returns a boolean. It makes sense that this method also returns boolean. Nothing will break if the request fails, so therefore it is not exceptional that the method fails.

I always ask myself - as library developers, can we KNOW that it is Exceptional that a method is called when in the wrong state or is it simply unexpected. Often the answer is that you can't know the answer because we don't know the context of how the method is being used. The developer using the library will know if the situation is exceptional and can throw if it is. All we need to do is say whether or not it succeeded.

If you throw an exception in a library - it has to be fundamentally wrong to do so. In this case, I don't think it is - it is merely unexpected and of no consequence. There wont be any data coming back to be "in the wrong shape" so it wont matter that the method failed. There might be an argument for Throwing the exception if the channel had never been opened, but as this happens in the constructor that is not possible.

The scenario that comes to mind is, in the CanClose Event of a Desktop App, OR the Close browser event, the shape of the window may change during clean up. If that happens, the event to change window shape MAY still be attached causing the event to fire when the channel has already closed. It is much simpler to handle for the developer if the method does not throw an exception and the unexpected event can be ignored. With an exception, in order to properly clean up, the developer must remember to unsubscribe to events or risk an exception being raised when it is of no consequence.

Returning false allows to the developer to decide if failed call to change window size is exceptional. So I think returning a boolean is the right call here.

Yes, ChangeWindow might be a better name. Happy to do this. Should I proceed?

With regards to an example application - I have a fully worked example in branch glenkleidon:feature/add_vs_2022_solution

Should consider doing a pull request on that one but I need some help with a failed test case.

Actually the blocker is the failed test case on #1024

return _channel.SendWindowChangeRequest(columns, rows, width, height);
