Option to allow stdin to be inherited

[binki]

I have a finicky process which only works if stdin is not a pipe. How can I tell nodemon to not mess with the stdio streams? If I do nodemon -I it still intercepts stdin.

+1 im using blessed and nothing is clickable. It just vomits out input sequences on my screen.

+1 I'm using blessed and no input possible when running with nodemon.

Can anyone create the simplest test case that I can test with? Or even better, dig into the code with a PR to fix?

I am able to reproduce odd behavior with the readline example code from node docs:

const readline = require('readline');

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

rl.question('What do you think of Node.js? ', (answer) => {
  // TODO: Log the answer in a database
  console.log(`Thank you for your valuable feedback: ${answer}`);

  rl.close();
});

Behavior:

• When running with node, this exits after it receives an answer.
• When running with nodemon it seems to receive the answer, but does not exit. It also accepts rs to restart.
• When running with nodemon -I it seems to not receive the answer
• When running with a nodemon.json: { "restartable": false }: receives the answer and then freezes completely (won't even accept CTRL+C)

Can you add '-I' to the help? Nodemon help is missing options.

Also, what is the option name for nodemon.json so I can make it the default?

Thanks
