Error ERR_REQUIRE_ESM when using it with inquirer@v9

[DerZyklop]

I recently got this error when trying to run npx ntl --autocomplete:

/[project path]/node_modules/inquirer-autocomplete-prompt-ipt/index.js:10
var Base = require('inquirer/lib/prompts/base');
           ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /[project path]/node_modules/inquirer/lib/prompts/base.js from /[project path]/node_modules/inquirer-autocomplete-prompt-ipt/index.js not supported.
Instead change the require of base.js in /[project path]/node_modules/inquirer-autocomplete-prompt-ipt/index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (/[project path]/node_modules/inquirer-autocomplete-prompt-ipt/index.js:10:12) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

I tried to debug without knowing much about the internals of ntl, and figured out:

• It’s not a problem when I run the globally installed ntl, its only a problem when ntl is installed in my project folder.
• It's not a problem when I add "inquirer": "8" to my package.json. Otherwise version 9 would be installed/used.

Hope this helps.

PS: I got these errors without any updates to my package.json. So I believe there is some dependency in the chain which should be defined more precisely.

As this repo does not have a direct dependency to inquirer, it might be an issue of ipt (which uses inquirer internally) instead of ntl?

for me the issue is gone. for whatever reason.
