Cannot run the example with Julia 1.11

[ali-ramadhan]

The example worked for me in Julia 1.10 but not 1.11.

MWE:

using Debugger

function foo(n)
    x = n+1
    ((BigInt[1 1; 1 0])^x)[2,1]
end

@enter foo(20)

Error:

ERROR: Debugger.jl requires a LineEditREPL type of REPL
Stacktrace:
 [1] error(s::String)
   @ Base ./error.jl:35
 [2] RunDebugger(frame::JuliaInterpreter.Frame, repl::Nothing, terminal::Nothing; initial_continue::Bool)

   @ REPL[3]:1

which is a bit confusing to me because

julia> typeof(Base.active_repl)
REPL.LineEditREPL

---

Environment: I'm using Julia 1.11 with Debugger.jl v0.7.10.

@ali-ramadhan I encounter the same issue. Do you have a solution now?

[ali-ramadhan]

No I don't unfortunately :(

[KristofferC]

A solution is probably to run Pkg.resolve() on 1.11 first to update the manifest. The weird error is because in some cases Julia loads a separate copy of REPL (also called REPL) which is different from the REPL referred to by Debugger.

[WalterMadelim]

I tried. Still exists.
