question method don't work in subprocess

[turnerguo]

// main.mjs

await $`zx sub.mjs`.pipe(process.stdout)

// sub.mjs
  console.log('running sub.mjs');

  const answer = await question(chalk.yellow`Your choice (y/n): `);
  console.log('answer', answer);

directly run sub.mjs can get answer from user input, but no answer from run main.mjs, any suggestions on this situation?

await $({stdio: ['inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe']})`zx sub.mjs`.pipe(process.stdout)

Thanks a lot, it works correct right now.

Thanks, this fixed it for me too.
Could you explain why this works? The docs says "Default is .stdio('inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe').", yet stdio: ['inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe'] was needed to make question work.
Also, do you know if there's a way to make this the default for every command?

@Linksku,

Sure:

// #1
$.stdio = ['inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe']
await $`zx sub.mjs`

// #2
const $$ =  $({stdio: ['inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe']})
await $$`zx sub.mjs`
