How can I bypass a prompt when I already have an answer?

[AllanOricil]

I tried node-plop await generator.runPrompts(["projectName"]), where

prompts: [
      {
        type: "input",
        name: "projectName",
        message: "Project name?",
        default: "nrg-project",
      },
]

but it did not work. I keep getting the following error

TypeError: String.prototype.split called on null or undefined

Waiting for the debugger to disconnect...

This debugger views show what happens after await promptBypass. Look at the values displayed in the debugger

This debugger view show the internal execution of the promptBypass.

In your tests, after calling promptBypass, you verify the input values of each bypassed prompt, for example:

const [promptsAfterBypassTwo, bypassTwo] = await promptBypass(
      prompts,
      ["b", "something"],
      plop,
);
expect(bypassTwo.list).toBe("B");
expect(bypassTwo.input).toBe("something");
expect(promptsAfterBypassTwo.length).toBe(4);

However, in the run I shared above, it is clear that there is no "input" property in the bypassed prompt, inside bypassAnswers, which is equivalent to your bypassTwo. So, what is going wrong?
