Unable to spawn a new shell since 8.2.0

[lzm0]

In [email protected], it is possible to spawn a subshell with this command

npx [email protected] --eval 'await $`bash`.stdio("inherit", "inherit", "inherit")'

However, since [email protected], this is no longer possible. Running

npx [email protected] --eval 'await $`bash`.stdio("inherit", "inherit", "inherit")'

will not give the user a new shell.

relates #931

In short, we have 2 3 options:

// preconfiguration
await $({stdio: 'stdio'})`bash`

// postconfiguration
await $({halt: true})`bash`.stdio('inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit').run()

A portion of black magic, which I strongly do not recommend:

import {$, ProcessPromise} from 'zx'

const run = ProcessPromise.prototype.run
ProcessPromise.prototype.run = function () { setImmediate(run.bind(this)) }

await $`echo foo`.stdio('inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit')

Thanks for the workaround. I decided to go with the postconfiguration approach which worked nicely.
