What is the intended way to use dialoguer for non-interactive Term objects? I would like to test my application by feeding it a Term::read_write_pair that I run assertions on, but this makes it impossible because it just immediately exits with an error instead of reading from the file.

I think the correct thing to do is to fix this upstream in console by reading from the read half of the pair instead of hard-coding Key::Unknown: https://github.com/console-rs/console/issues/117

Looks like https://github.com/console-rs/console/pull/173 was intended to fix that but hasn't gotten any reviews ...
