如何从Node.js REPL控制台打开交互式Bash Shell

Question

I want to open a bash shell from nodejs console.

I have tried everything from child_process module, but i did not managed to find a solution where i can see $ prompt.

Thanks

You can make the child inherit the stdio , here you have a working example (Linux) :

const { spawn } = require('child_process')
const shell = spawn('sh',[], { stdio: 'inherit' })
shell.on('close',(code)=>{console.log('[shell] terminated :',code)})

example output :

sh-4.4$ uname
Linux
sh-4.4$ exit
exit
[shell] terminated : 0

Remember to replace sh with the correct shell for your platform requirements
