I encountered the same problem. This piece of code does not work.

//test.js
var readline = require('readline');
var rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  terminal: true
});

rl.on('line', function(line){
    console.log(line);
})

devtool test.js < input.txt
