cdk: Unable to get user input in a cdk program

[Qlub53]

Describe the bug

Trying to get user input from stdin through readline always ends up with

Subprocess exited with error 13

Does cdk not allow user input from stdin by design?

Expected Behavior

cdk program accepts user input from stdin.

Current Behavior

Subprocess exited with error 13

Reproduction Steps

import readline from 'readline';
import { stdin as input, stdout as output } from 'process';

readline.createInterface({ input, output })
	.question(`Please put in your answer: `, answer => console.log(answer));

Put the above snippet anywhere in your cdk program. In my case, I put it before const app = new cdk.App();.
Then run cdk synth or cdk deploy.

Thank you for your report but unfortunate I can't reproduce this error in my environment.

And also why not use parameters?

And also why not use parameters?

Because some decisions in my logic can only be made at runtime and should require human intervention.

Hi @pahud , later I figured that it's not a matter of stdin but await.
Reopened a new separate issue #25871
