Botkit: "Unexpected identifier" on Jabber botkit

Hi,

I'm trying to run Botkit for Jabber env but I have issue with the framework.
I alreay validated my IM&P env as it works with simple-xmpp framework.

# node test.js

/root/botkit-test/botkit/lib/JabberBot.js:44
            let roster_stanza = new Stanza('iq', { 'from': config.client, 'typ
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hi 👋 can you post a little more of the code snippet that is throwing the error? Could b a simple syntax issue, but not sure from thr error message alone.

thanks a lot for your reactivity and sorry for me...
the code is very simple and come from the example:

    const Botkit = require('./lib/JabberBot.js');
    var controller = Botkit({
    json_file_store: './bot_store/'
    });
    var bot = controller.spawn({
    client: {
        jid: '[email protected]',
        password: 'xxx',
        host: "xxxx",
        port: 5222
        }
    });
    controller.hears(['hello'], ['direct_mention', 'direct_message'], function (bot, message) {
        bot.reply(message, 'Hi');
    });
    controller.on('direct_mention', function (bot, message) {
        bot.reply(message, 'You mentioned me in a group and said, "' + message.text + '"');
    });
    controller.on('direct_message', function (bot, message) {
        bot.reply(message, 'I got your direct message. You said, "' + message.text + '"');
    });

node version: v0.10.48

I have submit a fix for this at

Please try if it fix this issue.
Or you can upgrade your node to a higher version.

hi

Thanks a lot for your reactivity (once again ^^) !!!
I tested the fix but without success..
I can't update node as it comes from an enterprise redhat master.

# node  test.js

/root/botkit/lib/JabberBot.js:45
            let roster_stanza = new Stanza('iq', { 'from': config.client.jid.t

if you have some ideas to fix it, thanks in advance !

that is a pretty old version of node. You might want to talk to your admins about getting that upgrade and let us know if you still see problems.

Yep I know... but sometime we don't have the choice... so as workaround docker should help me (waiting approval).

So thanks a lot for your support and your help!
