.getCursorLocation() timed out

Executing term.inputField results in the following error:

    at Promise.resolveSafeTimeout.then (webpack:///./node_modules/terminal-kit/lib/Terminal.js?:1522:16)
    at Promise._execOneFulfillHandler (webpack:///./node_modules/seventh/lib/core.js?:163:19)

Here is my code:

term.inputField(function (error: any, userInput: string) { if (error) { console.log('[Input] error -> ', error); } else { console.log(userInput) } });

I'm using Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and Nodejs v7.8.0

@afturner Thanks for reporting. However, you may want want to use Terminal-kit for input handling, something like this:

var term = require( '../lib/termkit.js' ).terminal ;
term.grabInput() ;
term.on( 'key' , name => {
    if ( name === 'CTRL_C' ) {
        safeExit() ;
    }
    // ...
} ) ;

It’s best not to interfere with process.stdin / process.stdout when using Terminal-kit (since the lib does things with those objects too).

@mkey It has always been possible to specify the x,y coordinate of an inputField, however I just discovered that this feature was not documented, it’s fixed now (doc).

Also now, as of v1.35.5, .inputField(), .progressBar() and all .*Menu() widget fallback to the last line position when requesting cursor location is not possible on the terminal (mainly a Windows problem).
