fails in node 0.10 on OS X

davidmarkclements commented 8 years ago

this is due to reading from /dev/stdin

/usr/bin/tty will output the current tty e.g. /dev/ttys006 - this can be used instead, but spawning /usr/bin/tty has to be done async on node 0.10 - which means there would be an async setup step.

$ node --version
v0.10.40
$ node -e "require('prompt-sync').prompt()"

fs.js:488
  var r = binding.read(fd, buffer, offset, length, position);
                  ^

you can point at /dev/tty instead of /dev/stdin and this problem goes away..

need to confirm for linux
