How to get output of only 4 "> " to stdout

Question

I was to make a knapsack program that could take in numbers and store their counts as well as have a UI like interface the user could put commands into such as saving and loading from a file. While all of this works perfectly and the code for such is provided below I'm having difficulty producing an expected output of a testcase for this program.

I am wondering what I'm doing wrong and why to stdout there are no "> "being produced. If i remove the line of fprintf(stdout, "> "); from the else portion then there are 3 "> " printed to stdout. I need to be able to print 4 of them but I'm stumped on how this is possible. I'm using travis-ci.com to test this test case and this is where its showing me the error of it failing. Full code and testcase below.

Current Output

    Your stderr:
Error: Bad item "abc"
Error: Bad item "xyz"
unknown command: d

Desired Output

    Expected stdout:
> > > > 
    Expected stderr:
Error: Bad item "abc"
Error: Bad item "xyz"
Unknown command: d

#!/bin/bash

echo "Test case 4"
echo "Bad commands"
echo "a abc"
echo "r xyz"
echo "d"
echo -e "Error: Bad item \"abc\"\nError: Bad item \"xyz\"\nUnknown command: d" > expectedstderr.tmp
echo -ne "> > > > " > expectedstdout.tmp
echo -e "a abc\nr xyz\nd" | ./knapsack-shell 1>actualstdout.tmp 2>actualstderr.tmp &
sleep 1
killall -9 knapsack-shell

echo "  Expected stdout:"
cat expectedstdout.tmp
echo ""
echo "  Expected stderr:"
cat expectedstderr.tmp

stdoutres=`diff expectedstdout.tmp actualstdout.tmp | wc -l`
stderrres=`diff expectedstderr.tmp actualstderr.tmp | wc -l`
if [ $stdoutres -eq 0 ] && [ $stderrres -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Test passed"
else 
    if [ $stdoutres -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "  Your stdout:"
        cat actualstdout.tmp
        echo ""
    fi
    if [ $stderrres -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "  Your stderr:"
        cat actualstderr.tmp
    fi
    rm *.tmp
    exit 1
