I'm working on an API I used the CLI to create it.
First time trying to start REPL.

Hey @daanmlab! 👋

Could you be a bit more descriptive, there's no way for us to help you with the amount of information you shared.

Added some details. Sorry for being vague first time reporting an issue

Added some details. Sorry for being vague first time reporting an issue

Can you share some code?

Most likely you have something like this:

const user = await User.find(10)
user.history = 'foobar' // throws "Cannot set property 'history' of undefined" if user with ID 10 does not exist

just the be clear the code itself runs without any errors I only get an error when I try adonis repl

[daanmlab]

Could it be because of the big sur update @RomainLanz ?

[RomainLanz]

No, it's because the rli.history has been deprecated and removed in Node.

Please, downgrade your Node version for now if you want to use Adonis 4.
Closing since we already have an issue on same adonisjs/adonis-cli#190

[daanmlab]

okay thanks for letting me know

a momentary fix is that you can comment the next two lines, and the repl will be ok. (ofcs you'll not be able to get the history of your repl)
comment the line 109 y 110
