"Assertion `(argc) == (5)' failed." error on calling functions about readline-sync HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @SupersonicXD1, thank you for the comment.
Could you explain to reproduce that?
In other words, what did you do? For example, the code? The command?

from readline-sync.

@anseki The code:
const readlineSync = require('readline-sync'); readlineSync.question("crash")
Note that using require() does not crash node.js, but calling readlineSync.question(); does.

Did you run that code in Windows CMD?

FYI: I use to get this error when running a Javascript file from my IDE (in that case, IntelliJ IDEA), but when I run it in Windows CMD or Windows Powershell, the error does not show up. I have node v10.13.0 installed.

Hi @a-hegerath, thank you for the information.
Yes, as you said, I also guess that @SupersonicXD1 mistook the environment that runs the code.

from readline-sync.

@anseki sorry for getting back to you so late, I've been busy for the past few days. I ran the code in the IDE (WebStorm), not windows command prompt.

I see.
That is correct behavior.
readlineSync is a library to read/write via TTY.
See document: https://github.com/anseki/readline-sync
Therefore, of course that should never work without TTY (i.e. an environment that has no TTY).

No reply came, then this abandoned issue is closed.
