Error on Windows when input is redirected about readline-sync

[anseki]

Hi @CalculonPrime, thank you for the comment.
Do you mean that you want to redirect input?
If so, fs.c doesn't work now.
Also, you don't need this module now because Node.js already implemented the features. I think that the module have already finished its part at that time.
You can use Readline (not readlineSync) or another module now, it's better choice.

Well readline isn't synchronous, so I'd have to wrap it, and more importantly, readline doesn't support hiding password typing like readline-sync. The key API I'm using is readline-sync.question().

If you don't want to wrap that (but you can wrap it easily) or you want something like utility method, you can use another module instead.

What other module? I've tried using async/await around the built-in readline question() API and it doesn't block the calling function. How do I get synchronous readline?

[anseki]

I don't know what module you want but you can search modules in https://www.npmjs.com/ and find modules that read via TTY such as prompts.
See document for async/await: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Asynchronous/Async_await

I know how to search modules. I'm not aware of any that replace readline-sync. As far as async/await, that isn't a replacement either, as it requires the entire hierarchy of calling functions to be made async.

[anseki]

Sorry, I don't know what module you want and problem about async/await in your app.
However, async/await and Promise are very important for JavaScript.
In general, module such as the prompts and async/await can be used instead of readlineSync. I don't know why you can't that because I don't know what you want to do.

[anseki]

You had better search modules by yourself if you know how to that and you don't like the module that I told.

No reply came, then this abandoned issue is closed.
