Spawn a child process and bind it to parent's stdin, stdout and stderr in node.js

spawn_vim.js

var tty = require('tty'),
    spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

var child = spawn('vim');
child.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
child.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);
process.stdin.pipe(child.stdin);
process.stdin.resume();

tty.setRawMode(true);

child.on('exit', function(code, signal) {
    process.stdin.pause();
    console.log(arguments);
});

@catdad I think it's because of this : tty.setRawMode(true); try something like package node-pty and will work fine - or more high level : cli-driver
