Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'TextPrompt' from 'questo' ↓

cause Using legacy import path from older versions or incorrect spelling.

fix

Use from questo import TextPrompt.

error TypeError: 'str' object is not callable ↓

cause Assigning the result of `ask()` to a variable named `input` overwrites built-in function.

fix

Rename the variable, e.g., user_input = TextPrompt(...).ask().

Warnings

breaking Import paths changed in v0.2.0 from module-level (e.g., questo.prompts.TextPrompt) to top-level (questo.TextPrompt). ↓

fix Use `from questo import TextPrompt` instead of `from questo.prompts import TextPrompt`.

deprecated The `ask()` method returns a string for TextPrompt, but other prompts like ConfirmPrompt return bool or int. Mixing types can cause unexpected output. ↓

fix Check the prompt type documentation for return types.

gotcha Questo requires Python >=3.7.8, but some prompt elements may not work on Windows if using Rich features without proper terminal support. ↓

fix Ensure your terminal supports ANSI escape codes or use a compatible terminal emulator.
