Bug with Node.js 8.1.0 on Linux

[JulioJu]

Overview of the issue

On Linux , with NodeJS 8.1.0, it's impossible to use arrow keys when we generate a new project with command jhipster or yo jhipster.

I've tried with zsh, sh, bash, and with Gnome-Terminal, XTerm, tty, and with Yeoman 1.8.5 or 2.0.0 and with Jhipster 4.3.0, 4.5.2 and 4.5.3.

If we kill yeoman (pkill yo), after having use this command, in the same shell there are many other issues with other commands like sudo (can't enter passwords).

With Nodejs 8.1.0, there is no problems with command jhipster entity myentityname.

With NodeJS 7.9.0, there isn't any problem. All work fine.

Motivation for or Use Case

It's a bug because we can't generate a new project ! And it's a bug because after having kill yo, there are a lot of other issues with other commands like sudo !

Reproduce the error

• Install Linux and Node.js 8.1.0
• In a new folder, type yo jhipster or jhipster
• Try to use arrow keys. Doesn't work.
• In an other terminal, kill yeoman (pkill yo)
• In the first terminal, try to run sudo it's not possible to enter password.
• Try other commands with inputs, like ([Y/n].

Is it a bug with JHipster generator ? Or Yeoman ? 

JHipster Version(s)

Bug with Jhipster 4.3.0, or 4.5.2 or 4.5.3.

That's why we tell to use an LTS version in our documentation...

Maybe, I must add a bug report on Yeoman ?

Yes

This is a bug in nodejs. It was fixed then reintroduced. 6.x LTS works. See here:
yeoman/yo#360
