SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Looks like it should be catch (e) { ?

You will need to change the line 86 of this file to ( and in many other places/files too, follow the errors until there are none ):

} catch(error) {

I'm still having the same issue on:

fs-extra: v9.0.1
node: v12.1.0

After replacing } catch { with } catch(error) { in multiple files, it's finally working.

@geneparcellano What's your setup? Do you have babel or some bundler in your setup? What's the exact error message you're getting?

I'd like to report the same issue when running jest on TeamCity. Here are the CI server details:

node: v12.16.1
fs-extra: 9.0.1

Here's the relevant error log:

C:\BuildAgent1\work\e7499cbf9ff8fce2\src\RTMap.Web\node_modules\fs-extra\lib\mkdirs\make-dir.js:85

          } catch {

FYI I'm running jest via vue-cli-service.
