repl::ReplSession::new function is private

[yamaura]

Thanks for the wonderful library.
I want to create my custom ReplSession, but ReplSession::new function is private. So how can I create ReplSession from some sessions outside of this library?

I want to run program following:

let session = expectrl::repl::ReplSession::new(
    expectrl::spawn("mycommand").unwrap(),
    "EXPECT_PROMPT".to_string(),
    None, false);
let recv = session.execute("send");

Hi @yamaura thank you for opening the issue.

I think you're right we can make it public.

[zhiburt]

I think it was private because it was suppose to be a rare case when someone would use it.

Can I ask you what process you're spawning?

[zhiburt]

Do you need it to be published, soon?

I think we need to do #32 and then we could release the new version.

Sorry for the lack of explanation.
Currently, I'm working on creating lib to log in automatically and then do one shot command.
I thought it would be easier if I could use ReplSession, which is already implemented since I would have to use some repl cli at the remote.

So really I want to like this:

let session = expectrl::spawn("telnet remote").unwrap();
// session.expect("login:)....
// Do something log in procedure here
// It depends on remote machine, *nix, switches, special hardware and so on.
let session = expectrl::repl::ReplSession::new(session, "EXPECT_PROMPT".to_string(), None, false);
let recv = session.execute("send");

No problem, as I am in no hurry to publish it.
Thanks.
