How can I exit completing-read with the current string instead of a completion with fido?

Question

Consider the following code:

(fido-mode 1)

(let ((answer (completing-read "Please enter nothing: " '("Something"))))
  (if (string= answer "")
      (message "You successfully entered nothing!")
    (message "You failed :(")))

How can I ensure that answer is the empty string ("")?

Both RET and C-j return "Something".

Answer 1

You have to use icomplete-fido-exit. It's by default bound to M-j.

(icomplete-fido-exit FORCE)

Attempt to exit minibuffer immediately with current input.
