MaxListenersExceededWarning

[SeverinAlexB]

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Node Version: v18.12.1
• Package: @clack/prompts
• Package Version: v0.2.2

Describe the bug

MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 end listeners added to [ReadStream]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

To Reproduce
After using the await select a lot, the warning message above shows up.

Expected behavior
Should not show up.

Additional Information

Let me know if you got questions. It's probably just even emitter listener cleanup.

It happens to me too, but after 10 differents prompts (confirms, select, inputs, etc)

[wrodriguez83]

I found a temporal solution, I added this code in my index.ts:

import { EventEmitter } from "node:stream"; EventEmitter.setMaxListeners(0);

I hope that it helps you, while the bug is fixed

I looked into this and think I found the culprit (at least the warning no longer shows up after generating 10+ prompts).

I still have this issue. Is the best work around setting max emitters to 0?
