Unable to create new task/tracker with the interactive dialog.

Context

debian 12/bookworm mite
mite 1.11.0
Node.js v18.19.0

Description

Unable to create new task/tracker with the interactive dialog.

Expected Behavior

When no arguments or just the "note" is given mite new asks for more details of the time-entry that should be created. Project, service and duration can be entered in an interactive survey.

Current Behavior

mite new
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mite-cli/source/mite-new.js:5
const inquirer = require('inquirer');
                 ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mite-cli/node_modules/inquirer/lib/inquirer.js from /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mite-cli/source/mite-new.js not supported.
Instead change the require of inquirer.js in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mite-cli/source/mite-new.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Got it. Thanks for catching this. I think this can be resolved by reverting inquirer to an earlier version or migrating everything to be ESM compatible which might require more effort.

Thanks for your fast reply. May you be able to show me how to downgrade inquirer?

[Ephigenia]

something like npm install inquirer@<previous-version>…

Hello, is there anything new to this Problem?

I tried every version down to inquirer@8.0.0, but was unable to resolve the issue.
