Readline-sync not working in VSCode about readline-sync HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @ozanmuyes, thank you for the information. 😄

from readline-sync.

This issue was originally reported to NodeJS at nodejs/node#41223.

There have been similar issue reports before, #106 #92 .

This does not appear to be an issue with TTYs. Even if proper terminal emulators are used, it will still error out on Windows.
Furthermore, this should not trigger a v8 panic and crash the entire node process. nodejs/node#41223 (comment) mentioned that the problem is caused by using process.binding().

Hi @PianoMan7, @JunyuanChen, thank you for the comment.
As document says, readlineSync is a library to read/write via TTY.
Therefore, you have to use another library or a method for VS Code.

readlineSync is a library to read/write via TTY. Therefore, you have to use another library or a method for VS Code.

The problem here is that apparently process.binding('tty_wrap').TTY node v16 on Windows crashes the entire node process when the returned object is used. Even with a proper terminal emulator (eg. mintty), it will still crash and dump a v8 (!) stack trace. This means that there is no way to try-catch since it is crashing v8.

In lib/readline-sync.js, there are statements like if (IS_WIN) so I assume this library does intend to support Windows?

@JunyuanChen, your issue seems to be different from this issue. That is an issue about redirection, it's not VS Code.
Anyway, you have to use another library because fs.c doesn't work now.

Adding "console": "externalTerminal" to launch.json works for me, like in the launch configuration below;

{
  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
  // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "pwa-node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "dev",
      "skipFiles": [
        "<node_internals>/**"
      ],
      "console": "externalTerminal",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/index.js",
      "args": ["..."],
    }
  ]
}

PS: I'm on Mac. And of course expect some shell window to open by the configuration above.
