I have a bit of a weird issue that I'm not sure how to approach. I started using dialoguer for some simple CLI Selects for a small CLI tool.
The code I use is very close to the examples:
let choice = Select::with_theme(&ColorfulTheme::default())
.with_prompt("Pick a device, any device")
.default(0)
.items(devices.iter().as_slice())
.interact_opt()
.unwrap();
However, it works as expected in some terminals and not others. When it doesn't work, I'll try and navigate, the prompt flickers (indicating a re-render) but the selection doesn't actually change.
What works:
Warp
Visual Studio Code integrated terminal
What doesn't work:
iTerm2
Visual Studio Code for Web integrated terminal (vscode.dev)
It failing on VSCode for Web would kinda be fair enough, as it's not your standard terminal set-up. But I was quite confused why iTerm2 wasn't working properly
It's a little bit annoying as it means I have to have an additional terminal open on the side just for running certain commands.
Any assistance on this would be appreciated
Aside: I switched to dialoguer from youchoose to improve Windows compatibility for my tool. For what it's worth, I never had this issue with it
