I tried to make a simple cli nodejs game, with inquirer to ask for player input - name and question answers.

I wrote the following code, which works as expected:

async function askName() {
    playerName = (await inquirer.prompt({
        name: 'player_name',
        type: 'input',
        message: 'What is your name?',
        default() {
            return 'Player';
        },
    })).player_name;
}

But this code does not work and my debugger won't go into it:

async function acceptAnswer() {
    await inquirer.prompt({
        name: 'player_name',
        type: 'input',
        message: 'What is your answer',
        validate(text) {
            if (/^[\u05D0-\u05EA]{5}$/.test(text)) // check if the input is a five letter word in Hebrew
                return true;
            console.log(chalk.red("Please try again"));
            return false;
        },
    });
}

(I check, and chalk isn't the problem).

I run JetBrains Webstorm on windows 21H2 with nodejs 16.13.2 and npm 8.1.2 Any help appreciated!
