TypeError *.replace|replaceAll is not a function in neovim

[pinkfloydsito]

I am using neovim with the perlnavigator setup and keep encountering those errors when I launch the process. Does someone has any clue on it? Am I missing a configuration in the file?

Config:

          require("lspconfig").perlnavigator.setup({
            settings = {
              perlnavigator = {
                perlPath = "perl",
                enableWarnings = true,
                perltidyProfile = "",
                perlcriticProfile = "",
                perlcriticEnabled = true,
              },
            },
          })

Hi @pinkfloydsito, thanks for filing this issue. I think I see what's happening. We refactored a bit last month and introduced the use of the replaceAll function as cleaner than using replace with a global regex. However, I see now that replaceAll was only introduced in Node.js v15 in October 2020. My guess is that your local environment is using an older version of node.js that does not have this function.

Can you check your node.js version? Upgrading it may help. I should also look into testing the Navigator on various versions of node (and perl). If I revert the replaceAll changes, that alone may allow running on many more versions.

Hi there, yes bumping the nodejs version completely helped helped! It is working fine now

Thanks for filing the issue. I bumped the required node version in package.json which should also result in more helpful errors.
