Prisma1: Unexpected token function

[atefBB]

I got this error when using graphcool init:
C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\graphcool\node_modules\rwlockfile\lib\rwlockfile.js:9 async function pidActive(pid) {
^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token function.

Any ideas to deal with it?

@parronator solved?

[marktani]

This error is thrown when the node version is older, could you please upgrade that to a more recent one?

[atefBB]

@marktani I'm using the v6.11.0 version of nodejs.
Should I do an upgrade?

[marktani]

Could you try to upgrade the version to 8+? :)

Why was the node version check removed?

[schickling]

Good question @kbrandwijk - maybe @timsuchanek can add more context?

This problem should be resolved via #623 though.

[kbrandwijk]

@schickling See my reply in #623 for why I do not consider that a good solution. Also, it doesn't take away the issue that apparently, there's something in there that requires node 8+, which is strange, given that it's a compiled Typescript project, that could easily be compiled into something compatible with the still very common node 6.x.

[timsuchanek]

The check hasn't been removed, just tried it.
Some of the dependencies need node >= 8, we should get rid of them

[timsuchanek]

I removed the one dependency that made node 6 fail, from now on node 6 is supported.

@timsuchanek Thank you !
