using runGraphInFile in .js script, using "Loops" Tutorial Graph, but no user input window.

Just like the title says, I'm following the user guide and trying to use the runGraphInFile function to test out graph execution from a script call before integrating Rivet into my larger project. I execute the script (shown below). test_project is a rivet project I created wherein I copy/pasted the "Loops" graph found in the tutorial project provided on the Rivet site. I am using the following short code in my test script:

import { runGraphInFile } from '@ironclad/rivet-node';

const outputs = await runGraphInFile('./test_project.rivet-project', {
graph: 'Loops',
// other options...
});

I removed the other options for the runGraphInFile function call, so it wouldn't surprise me if I need to configure that (wanted to minimize potential issues for my test).

I execute the script using my CLI:
node my_script.js

After a few minutes the program exits with no sign that there was an error. However, the user input window never appears and I am never prompted to input text (see "Loops" example in Tutorial). The script simply executes then closes.

Yeah, user input has to be handled manually when running Rivet in a parent script. There's no connection for it with the remote debugger. You can implement user input manually (say in a console app) by handling the onUserInput event in your code, then calling context.userInput as your callback, but it's a bit awkward to do so. External functions are the preferred way to handle things like that when you have a parent script.

Thanks for the fast response. I was afraid of that, but should be easy enough to resolve. Great program!
