autocompleteMultiselect errors on invalid option

Author: asportnoyCreated Jun 10, 2024Updated Feb 18, 2025

Describe the bug

When using an autocompleteMultiselect prompt, pressing space to select when there's no results for a filter causes a crash.

To Reproduce

Run this code:

javascript

import prompts from 'prompts';

await prompts({
    type: 'autocompleteMultiselect',
    name: 'test',
    message: 'Enter some gibberish below, then press space',
    choices: [
        {
            title: 'Foo',
            value: 'Foo',
        },
    ],
});

Type some random text so no results match the filter
Press space to "select" this option
Error:

            throw err;
            ^
