REPL cannot start due to error with loading history

[lordlycastle]

I get this error when I try to run anything e.g. trymodule lodash:

Gonna start a REPL with packages installed and loaded for you
Couldn't find 'lodash' locally, gonna download it now
[email protected] .trymodule/node_modules/lodash
Package 'lodash' was loaded and assigned to 'l' in the current scope
REPL started...
  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/trymodule/node_modules/repl.history/index.js:19
  repl.rli.addListener('line', function(code) {
           ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'addListener' of undefined
    at module.exports (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/trymodule/node_modules/repl.history/index.js:19:12)

    at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:94:5)

I've done basic clean up steps i.e. uninstall trymodule and delete the ~/.trymodule/ folder (or trymodule --clear).

I don't understand why it fails here.

This issue is related with repl.history which is used in this module.

The node's repl API (REPLServer.rli) changed after Node 16.

The repl.rli.addListener should be replaced with repl.addListener.
