CI: Use NodeJS v4.x in the default travis dev env #76

Closed kerel-fs closed 6 years ago

kerel-fs commented 6 years ago

This fixes the build error (const os = require('os'); [...] SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.) caused by a highly outdated nodejs-version (v0.10.48) (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/23151062/1741342).

Updating to an even newer nodejs-version than v4.x should be considered but I've no clue about what is appropriate. @Turbo87 Can you give an advice which nodejs-version whe should target and how to update the dependencies to meet this version?

Since we are only using Node.js for data file conversion and this is not actually being used as a npm package we might as well target the most recent Node.js version or at least the LTS. At this point I would recommend to use Node 8.
