How to enable inherit stdio?

[PeterlitsZo]

I want to open a MySQL client. But its behavior is strange.

Here is my zx script:

await $`mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u root -proot`;

And here is my nodejs script, its behavior is normal:

import { spawnSync } from 'node:child_process';

spawnSync("mysql", ['-h', 'localhost', '-P', '3306', '-u', 'root', '-proot'], { stdio: 'inherit' });

Strange behavior means it does not show the MySQL prefix if we want to enter a command.

Probably mysq looks for TTY on stdout, not stdin. By default zx uses stdio: ['inherit', 'pipe', 'pipe'].

await $`mysql ...`.stdio('inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit')

Since #914 zx uses ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'] as default, updated usage example:

await $({stdio: ['inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit']})`cmd --param`
await $({stdio: 'inherit'})`cmd --param` // shortcut

// halted process can be postconfigured
const p = $({halt: true})`cmd`

p.stdio('inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit')
const o = await p.run()
