Fix redrawing prompts on Windows #474

Open mislav opened 1 year ago

mislav commented 1 year ago

Fixes redrawing prompts on Windows so that:

The line before the 1st survey prompt isn't accidentally deleted,
The survey prompt is properly redrawn after recording an answer.

For help with debugging Survey, this also adds logging support by setting SURVEY_LOG_FILE environment variable.

Fixes https://github.com/go-survey/survey/issues/368 Closes https://github.com/go-survey/survey/pull/458

TODO:

[ ] test in more different terminal combos
[ ] test cursor handling when a prompt or an answer wraps due to viewport width
