Invisible new space in prompt input

[ghost]

I have this code:

program.prompt "folder: ", (folder) ->
  program.prompt "file: ", (file) ->
    console.log folder + "/" + file
    console.log "^ Entered path"

This will print:

my_folder
/my_file

^ Entered path

to the prompt.

There is an invisible new line character after folder and file.

Could this be removed?

because input is line-buffered, so both folder and file have a newline, you can .trim() them if you want

It worked.

But I don't get why you would want a new line as default. That forces everyone to use trim(). Couldn't this be taken care of behind the scenes?

In this way I don't have to have code like this:

program.prompt "name: ", (name) ->
  name = name.trim()
  program.prompt "description: ", (file) ->
    file = file.trim()
    program.prompt "homepage: (*none*) ", (homepage = "0.0.1") ->
      homepage = homepage.trim()
      program.prompt "username: (*github*) ", (username = "0.0.1") ->
        username = username.trim()
        program.prompt "author: ", (author) ->
          author = author.trim()
          program.prompt "email: ", (email) ->
            email = email.trim()
            program.prompt "url: ", (url) ->

true, I suppose we could do that :)
