'Broken pipe' when directing cat output to center

[joelgrimberg]

command: cat cypress.config.js | center

outputs: ERROR: cannot find input file undefined Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'> BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

a normal cat (without the | center) just outputs the content of the file to my terminal.
