This error doesn't seem to touch our code at all. It looks like this is an error in the coffeescript node module.

Do you get the same error with a blank Cakefile?

Thanks.

[mrmr1993]

We don't yet support Coffeescript v2, as it's only just come out. You'll need to downgrade to the previous version.

[godhelpjun]

thanks.
adam@ahp:~/Downloads/software/vimium$ coffee -v
CoffeeScript version 1.12.7
Now,it works.Thank you very much.

This needs to be in the instructions.

[mrmr1993]

@smblott-github I'm not going to have a chance to make a PR until Friday. I'm happy to do it then, but feel free to change it sooner.

I'll try and get us up to Coffeescript v2 standard when I can, it looks like we can get some nice improvements from it going forward.

Documentation is broken. Should specify the version of coffee required.
