Re: How to make custom REPL work in ansi-term?

[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi Jakub,

can you check if your REPL works in vterm and in eat? I use REPLs in Emacs a lot - see:

and there are a few programs that don't run well in ansi-term but that do in vterm...

  Cheers,

Hi,

I was asking similar question long ago, I'm not able to find replies on my
mailbox but found a reference on question on Stack Overflow:

The problem is that my REPL written in NodeJS doesn't work in Emacs
ansi-term, you can use arrow keys for navigation and history.

The same happen with native nodeJS command line. When moving cursor it add
escape sequences to the input. NodeJS doesn't use readline library only it's
own implementation written in _javascript_ that's probbaly not 100% compatible
with real readline.

Is there something that NodeJS can do to fix the issue. Or maybe you can give
me a pointers on what to search for in other to fix the issue. I may look into
the source code and fix the issue.
