I cant type in terminal, as user input during code run

Issue

I can't type in terminal when prompted for user input. Here's the code I'm using:

import * as readLine from 'readline'

const rl = readLine.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
})

rl.question('Enter your choice..: ', (answer) => {
     console.log(answer)
})

Im running it through console by npm run main with the following scripts in package.json:

"premain": "rimraf dist && tsc",
"main": "concurrently \"tsc -w\" \"node dist/index.js\""

I've tried:

• Adding "code-runner.runInTerminal": true to settings.json
• Enabling Legacy Terminal

Solution

For me it works if you just open the app directly using

node yourapp.js 

you will need to put "type": "module" in package.json.

If you want to use npm run dev you have to add a dev script to package.json:

"scripts": { "dev": "node app.js"}
