shelljs.exec hangs when password it's asked

[napcat]

Node version (or tell us if you're using electron or some other framework):

v6.10.2

ShellJS version (the most recent version/Github branch you see the bug on):

Most recent: 0.7.7

Operating system:

Windows 10

Description of the bug:

I have a node js script and I'm trying to exec a command to get some facebook hash keys.
When the command runs it needs the user to input the password, but the script hangs and stop runnning. The password action does not show any chars that are being written.

Example ShellJS command to reproduce the error:

var path          = require('path');
var os              = require('os');

var homedir = os.homedir();

var command = 'keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ' 
+ path.join(homedir, '\\.android\\debug.keystore') 
+ ' | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64';

shelljs.exec(command);

We don't support interactive programs with exec(). This will hopefully be addressed in an alternative to exec.

@nfischer Are there any updates or workarounds for this?

[nfischer]

I'll write a FAQ for interactive programs.

Thanks @nfischer.

Idk if this would be helpful, but I was able to get it to work using the 'exec-sh' package just by doing: execSh(myCmd)

Maybe their implementation would help :)

Workaround is in the FAQs: https://github.com/shelljs/shelljs/wiki/FAQ#running-interactive-programs-with-exec

Let me know if this doesn't work.
