The Node REPL can't handle declaring a variable with the name util #38139
Description
- Version:14.15.4
- Platform: Linux DESKTOP-OKC3QBQ 4.19.128-microsoft-standard deps: update openssl to 1.0.1j #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 12:58:10 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Subsystem: REPL
What steps will reproduce the bug?
Run the node executable to open the REPL. In the REPL simply run the line const util = {}, then on the next line type the name of any existing symbol longer than 3 characters, such as process or module
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
This reproduction is consistent
What is the expected behavior?
The repl will continue to function normally.
What do you see instead?
The REPL overwrites most the typed line with the text (node:27986) TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined. Specifically, if I open the REPL and enter the input const util = {};<Enter>process, the REPL looks like this:
Welcome to Node.js v14.15.4.
