Cerebro: Unable to compile on node v9, which blocks upgrading on Arch Linux

[maximbaz]

Arch Linux
yarn: 1.3.2
node: 9.2.0

---

Please follow exactly these steps (don't use repo that you had cloned before):

$ git clone https://github.com/KELiON/cerebro.git cerebro
$ cd cerebro
$ yarn
.....
$ cd app
$ yarn

Expected: both yarn runs succeed.
Actual: the second yarn fails.

❯ yarn
yarn install v1.3.2

Can you double check that latest master doesn't work? I did small fix, maybe it is related. BTW, when I did a release everything was ok for me (using MacOS for that)

[maximbaz]

Just checked, exactly the same issue when cloning the repo from scratch. I'm hesitant to update AUR to 0.3.2 because everyone will start complaining because of this 🙂

[KELiON]

@maximbaz what version of node do you use? I could reproduce this issue on node 9.0.0, but everything is ok with v7.10.1. I

[maximbaz]

I have v9.2.0, Arch Linux ships the latest available version of all apps, so every Arch Linux user has node v9.2.0 and it's not something I can change... Let's fix Cerebro for node v9 🙂

[HoroTW]

Any news? I would really like to get the new update ^^
(I can confirm it doesn't build on node 9)

[michaelwapp]

I can confirm that it doesn't build with arch and node 9, please update :+1:

[FliiFe]

Any update ? #451 has a fix, why not implement it on the main repo ?

[mayankDhiman]

Any updates? It doesn't work with gnome & node 9. Also is there a simple workaround?

[AlanTheKnight]

Hey, any updates?
