SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

On a newly initialized project when I run:

awsmobile cloud-api configure

The output is:

cloud-api feature specification error:
/Users/jhicks/.nvm/versions/node/v8.1.2/lib/node_modules/awsmobile-cli/lib/feature-operations/scripts/cloud-api-ops.js:355
        ...path,

Steps taken:

1. Verified the connection to aws console, everything appears connected
2. awsmobile push/pull sends other changes to the account
3. The cloud-api can be tested in the API Gateway interface

Here is the repo for the basic starter project that I created

awsmobile -V = 1.1.4

You need to update your node version to 7+ We recommend using node version 8.9.0.

[jeremyhicks]

Current: $ node -v v8.1.2 $ which node /Users/jhicks/.nvm/versions/node/v8.1.2/bin/node

I'll update to 8.9.0

Updating to the latest node did the trick
