getline not working for converting a string to a vector array

I am trying to convert a string from getline into a char vector but the size is 0. I am sure that I am inputting the word test into the terminal correctly.

I used this website to converting the string to a char vector https://www.techiedelight.com/convert-string-vector-chars-cpp/ and it works fine for a string that initialized with two quotes and a string inside it.

   string s;
   
   // Doesn't work
   getline(cin, s);
   
   vector<char> convert(s.begin(), s.end());
   
   for(int i = 0; i < convert.size(); i++)
   {
      cout << "nothing happens here & the size is 0 " << convert[i] << endl;
   }
   
   // Works fine
   string st = "Hello World!";
   
   vector<char> v(st.begin(), st.end());
   
   for (const char &c: v)
      cout << "test " << c << endl;
Works for me:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main(){
    using namespace std;
    string s;

    // Doesn't work
    getline(cin, s);

    vector<char> convert(s.begin(), s.end());

    for(int i = 0; i < convert.size(); i++)
    {
        cout << "nothing happens here & the size is 0 " << convert[i] << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
