Allow input midway through a script's execution

Question

thomhurst opened this issue 10 months ago · comments

From what I can tell, input is piped to a process immediately when the process has begun.

However, some scripts might ask for prompts.

But if I have an input stream pipe, trying to write to it at the time I have a prompt does nothing.

This is already possible using the approach described in #191 (comment)

Hmm it's seems a powershell Read-Host command doesn't seem to trigger any command events?

I don't know how Read-Host works specifically, but it might be that the prompt isn't actually written to stdout.

Yeah I think you're right. I don't really think there's a workaround then for what I'm trying

Going to close this now since the issue doesn't seem specific to CliWrap
