Can you run yo easy-ui5 --plugins to check your version? (4.3.0 is your yo installation, not easy-ui5)

AlexanderK22 commented 2 years ago

Running yo easy-ui5 --plugins results in the same error Unexpected token '.'. The easy-ui5 version is 3.2.2 then.

@AlexanderK22 Which node version, npm version, git version are you using?

AlexanderK22 commented 2 years ago

@petermuessig The node version is v12.21.0, npm is 8.5.0 and git is 2.30.2.

Using an easy-ui5 version prior to 3.2 works just fine.

petermuessig commented 2 years ago

It's related to the usage of optional chaining in the generator which is not supported on Node v12: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59574047/how-to-use-optional-chaining-in-node-js-12

Can you use a higher version of Node.js? V14? V12 goes OOM end of April 2022.

@nicogeburek we should upgrade the min requirement in the readme to use at least Node.js 14.

Updated Node.js to v16.14.0 and the easy-ui5 generator works as expected.
