Latest enquirer release seems to break 'au build' with 'SyntaxError: Unexpected token ='

[AshWhitear]

I'm submitting a bug report

• Library Version: 3.0.1

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System: Mac OS & Windows Server 2022

• Node Version: 10.24.1

Current behavior: Getting an error on au build which seems to relate to new release of enquirer.

• What is the expected behavior? The build succeeds, currently using aurelia-cli to build in a pipeline. Steps are:
  1. npm install
  2. npm link aurelia-cli
  3. then au build

Last step fails with:

node_modules/enquirer/lib/queue.js:4
  _queue = [];
         ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? To get our app building working again.

Appears to work when I call: npm install enquirer@2.3.6 before the au build.

Very appreciative and grateful for any help! Thanks! 🙏

I will have a look. The worse case is to pin the version in our dependencies.

The reason it failed you because you are using very very outdated nodejs v10. It doesn't support class field definition.

class SuchAs {
  aField = "init_val";
}

Nodejs v10 ended support in 2021. Please upgrade to latest LTS v18.

If you need to stay on nodejs v10 for a while. You can continue to use npm install enquirer@2.3.6 (it touches your package.json so the version will stay in your project).
