Using Blessed with Vorpal causes two characters input instead of one

[jeffhuys]

Using Blessed in conjunction with Vorpal like this:

const blessed = require('blessed')
const vorpal  = require('vorpal')()

const program = blessed.program() // Commenting this out means normal behaviour

vorpal
  .command('test')
  .action(function (args, cb) {
    this.log('Good luck getting to this command!')
    cb()
  })

vorpal
  .delimiter('> ')
  .show()

Causes output like this:

➔ node minimal.js
> tteesstt

  Invalid Command. Showing Help:

  Commands:

    help [command...]  Provides help for a given command.
    exit               Exits application.
    test

>
>

As you can probably tell, every keystroke is sent / read twice, even the "return" key.
My guess is that Blessed attaches their own listener, and emits the event as well? Just a guess, though.

Maybe someone with knowledge of Blessed can help me out?

Vorpal doesn't play well with any other library that attempts to control the terminal. Both libraries add listeners, and then do their own thing.

[jeffhuys]

@dthree I see. Is there any other way to make this work (like only calling blessed.program() when I want to hand the terminal over to blessed)? Or is what I want a lost cause?

Is there a reason you're trying to use both together?

[jeffhuys]

@milesj yes, I want to create a REPL where I create dashboards. So, first I use Vorpal to allow for commands to be parsed. When a user types "create dashboard" or "show dashboard dash1", it hands the terminal over to Blessed, where it can do its thing (show a dynamic dashboard), and when q is pressed, it hands the terminal back to Vorpal, where other commands can be supplied.
