Hi Tyler,
Thanks for the bug report. Sorry that it went unanswered for so long.
When I try the following on Emacs 26.1, I get no error:
(progn
(require 'comint)
(string-match comint-password-prompt-regexp
"Password for foo@//example.org/foo/bar$/: "))
This suggests to me that a prompt such as the above should work under
M-x shell, since that is built on top of comint.
Could you verify that this works for you on Emacs 26.1?
Could you also please tell me if:
"Password for foo@//example.org/foo/bar$/: "
is a good example of the kind of prompt you get when mounting a cifs
partition? (I'm trying to find a good example to add to the test
suite for comint-password-prompt-regexp.)
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
