TerminalPager doesn't work with Julia 1.11

[matthias314]

I cannot get the package to work with Julia 1.11:

~$ julia --startup-file=no

julia> using TerminalPager
ERROR: InitError: MethodError: no method matching _init_pager_repl_mode(::REPL.LineEditREPL)
The function `_init_pager_repl_mode` exists, but no method is defined for this combination of argument types.

Closest candidates are:
  _init_pager_repl_mode(::REPL.AbstractREPL)
   @ TerminalPager /usr/local/julia-depot/packages/TerminalPager/beP7K/src/repl.jl:168

This error message is weird since

julia> using REPL; REPL.LineEditREPL <: REPL.AbstractREPL
true

With Julia 1.10.5 the package works fine.

Hi @matthias314 !

Can you describe better your setup? It is working perfectly here.

[matthias314]

Yesterday I figured out that it is related to JuliaLang/julia#56216. I have set JULIA_DEPOT_PATH. Unsetting it makes the issue go away. So I believe this issue can be closed as it will probably be fixed in the next minor release of Julia 1.11. Anyway, thanks for responding!

Hi! I still get this issue. Is there any workaround at the moment?
I went to through the mentioned issue but I could not find any solutions right now.

Hi @nicolamos

It is working perfectly here. Can you please try with a fresh environment?

[matthias314]

The solution that works for me (and that is mentioned on some GitHub page for Julia) is to have JULIA_DEPOT_PATH end with :, as in

export JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=/usr/local/julia-depot:

[nicolamos]

Ok thanks! Defining the depot like you suggested seems to work. I tried that before but it did not work, maybe something was cached.
