Text not in answers

[derBingle]

Using the enquirer example, I'm not having any luck.

The prompt says received, but the text is not in answers.bio, as seen below:

$  node test.js
?  Please write a short bio of at least 3 lines. Received
{ bio: '' }

Possibly relevant details...

• node --version = 7.7.2
• $EDITOR = vim 8.0
• macOS 10.12 Sierra

Edit:

Just testing (because I need to use it, haha), just found that this bug is true when as a standalone prompt or with enquirer.

I'm also having issues. I'm getting an explicit null thought, not an empty string.

• node --version v8.4.0
• $EDITOR vim 7.4.944
• mac 10.11.4

I think I've found the issue:

https://github.com/enquirer/prompt-editor/blob/master/index.js#L83

There is no argument passed to submitAnswer, passing it this.answer seems to be giving me expected output.

Its using an older version of prompt-base, here are the relevant lines for submitAnswer:
https://github.com/enquirer/prompt-base/blob/b5f220824d6fbd81ab1b96a9cf47a9ea052427f3/index.js#L245

Not really sure how we should resolve this

Thanks @Xanderite for tracking this down.

Looks like this prompt needs to be updated to the latest prompt-base and conventions. When we (or anyone else through a PR 😉 ) update it, it should fix this issue.

@Xanderite did you want to submit a pr?
