[Bug] When starting a spinner, the process won't stop after your script is done executing.

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Deno Version: 2.2.4
• Package: @clack/prompts
• Package Version: 0.11.0

Describe the bug
When starting a spinner, the node / deno process won't stop after your script is done executing.

To Reproduce
Just start the spinner and stop it.
Your process should never quit on its own from now on.

Expected behavior
Your process should properly stop after stopping the spinner.

Additional Information
It probably has something to do with an event listener that's not being cleaned up properly.

do you mean you didn't call stop()?

this makes sense as there's nothing we can listen for. an exit won't happen because the spinner is still iterating on a timer in the background, so there's no exit event to catch.

if something forcefully exits, the spinner does stop.

but you really should call stop()

its the same as if you had a setInterval running in your code somewhere, it'll never exit if you don't clean it up.

if you are calling stop, please provide an example as i can't reproduce that

I mean after calling stop

if you are calling stop, please provide an example as i can't reproduce that

do you have an example?

i've tried this locally and it works fine, so i think we will need a reproduction from you

[ivands]

Yeah, so I just tried it on Node and it seems to work.
But in Deno it will get stuck.

import { spinner } from '@clack/prompts'

const spin = spinner()
spin.start('Hello')
spin.stop('World')

However, i also had instances where my cli tool running in node would get stuck.
Just not sure now if the spinner was the problem anymore XD

i also can't reproduce that in main, so i wonder if its a long gone problem

can you try out 1.0.0-alpha.1 and see if it still happens? so we at least know if its been fixed in latest
