REPLExt: no method matching repl_init(::REPL.LineEditREPL) when loading packages in REPL mode.

[ndgnuh]

Behaviour

When loading some packages in REPL, REPLExt throws an exception.

Expected behaviour

No exception thrown?

Reproduce

To reproduce:

1. julia-release --startup-file=no -t 1
2. using IJulia (or other packages)

Packages that reproduce the bug:

• IJulia
• Pluto
• CairoMakie

Packages that don't reproduce the bug:

• StaticArrays
• PackageCompiler

Extra information

• Loading the packages in non-interactive mode works just fine.
• In REPL, when the exception is thrown, load the package again to make it works (v1.11.1).

This is either a duplicate of #56091 (comment) or a Pkg bug (wrongly assuming that active_repl must be assigned exactly to a REPL.AbstractREPL, while Base never made such a promise)

[Vortriz]

I am facing the exact same issue with Plots.jl

[KristofferC]

@vtjnash, how do you add a new REPL mode right now from a package? You keep saying these are bugs but they weren't bugs until the code under it changed and caused the bugs?

[zvnkk]

I added Depot path to move packages from c to d
and now i have this error

[zvnkk]

So i deleted everything in new Depot path on d disk
and installed only pluto, after running using Pluto command the error is there
however when i remove $env:JULIA_DEPOT_PATH = "D:/.julia" from powershell config
and return to default c:/usr/.julia folder error goes away.
however i want to have .julia on d dist , what to do ?

[zvnkk]

writing using Pkg in startup.jl file worked

I tried removing the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH. The bug indeed goes away. Therefore, reproducing this bug seems to require adding a custom JULIA_DEPOT_PATH.

I just hit this when using a modified version of REPL on nightly, without a custom depot, but I guess it meant REPL was precompiled to the user depot, which might be relevant.

But shouldn't repl_init(::REPL.AbstractREPL) accept LineEditREPL? It feels like we might have two different REPLs loaded..

i.e. I don't think JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#4067 fixes this..

% ./julia --start=no -ie "using REPL"
Precompiling REPL finished.

I started seeing this issue after updating Julia from 1.10 to 1.11.1. In my case the package that triggers it is Plots.jl. My JULIA_DEPOT_PATH is set to ~/Packages/julia.
