I am getting this on Mac OS Catalina, I've tried several ways of installing and reinstalling powershell. All to no avail. I've also use the Get-PSReadlineOption to check the location of HistorySavePath and completely deleted this folder off the system to no avail.

Environment

PSReadLine: 2.0.1
PowerShell: 7.1.0-preview.3
OS: Darwin 19.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.4.0: Wed Mar 4 22:28:40 PST 2020; root:xnu-6153.101.6~15/RELEASE_X86_64

This is a duplicate of #1464. It's likely the /tmp directory on you mac doesn't have the permission for the dotnet runtime to write to it. See #1464 (comment)
