How to not format [prompt]

[xiaomuzizier]

I want my input to be what the output is

Expected Behavior

when i enter --story=100321

when enter ,it show --story=100321

Current Behavior

when i enter --story=100321

when enter ,it show story='100321'

the '--' is lost and number has quotation marks。

Affected packages

• cli ✅
• core
• prompt ✅
• config-angular

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. First step
2. Second step

i use @commitlint/prompt-cli with commintlint

commitlint.config.js

Context

Your Environment

"@commitlint/cli": "^11.0.0",
"@commitlint/config-conventional": "^11.0.0",
"@commitlint/prompt-cli": "^11.0.0",

Executable	Version
commitlint --version	VERSION
git --version	VERSION
node --version	VERSION

"@commitlint/cli": "^11.0.0",
"@commitlint/config-conventional": "^11.0.0",
"@commitlint/prompt-cli": "^11.0.0",

A subject can't start with -. It should start with a letter.
You might be able to change the behaviour with a plugin.

Currently, the prompt package is using vorpal.catch to get user input of subject:

commitlint/@commitlint/prompt/src/library/get-prompt.ts

Lines 133 to 138 in c2c257d

	prompt.catch('[text...]').action((parameters) => {
	const {text = ''} = parameters;
	prompt.removeAllListeners();
	prompt.ui.redraw.done();
	return resolve(forceLeadingBlankFn(forceCaseFn(text.join(' '))));
	});

If we input --foo=bar for subject, the text of the parameters has already been transformed to foo='bar'

parameters: {"options":{},"text":["foo='bar'"]}

I'm not sure if a plugin can handle this internal problem of prompt package.

@escapedcat

IMO, this might be a bug of prompt package, as it does not keep user input as is.

@meteorlxy @xiaomuzizier sorry, didn't see this was using prompt. Prompt is not in a good state at the moment.
Thankfully @armano2 is working on an update.
This has to wait till prompt has been improved.

[xiaomuzizier]

@meteorlxy thanks you for helping me.

[xiaomuzizier]

@escapedcat oh.thx.then i will wait.I will follow updates at any time.
Thankfully @armano2 is working on an update.

[xiaomuzizier]

@escapedcat Is this bug solved?

[escapedcat]

No, sorry. The MR #2375 is still open. But maybe we could try to rebase it to master and if it turns green we could merge it.
You wanna give it a try?

[xiaomuzizier]

@escapedcat I'd like to try that. But I have little experience with open source projects, I don’t know if I can do it

[escapedcat]

Ok, no worries. In this case it's a bit more complicated because the branch is in armanos fork. Let me try that and we'll see what happens. I'll let you know when I did it.
