running node with the --es_staging flag would solve the problem for me. But i can't tell count-to-6 verify to use this flag. im on node v5.9.1

Hey @philj0st, want to post your code? I just completed this assignment; I don't get any errors when I run count-to-6 verify or count-to-6 run. I'm on node v5.8.0.

@Rrrapture I don't have the code anymore but .. essentially i was just using the es6 spread operator which was not supported by node by default at the time and my problem was that i can't invoke count-to-6 verify with the es_staging flag (which would lead to spread operator support) because its a nodeschool internal node invocation. I guess the problem is automatically solved with newer versions of node. node .green spread operator support.

but i think "supported" still means you have to use the --es_staging flag

@philj0st gotcha. Yes, when I'm testing I execute node --harmony program.js. So, did you end up passing the exercise? Since the workshop uses Traceur, when you execute count-to-6 run program.js or count-to-6 verify program.js, the compiler solves the support problem.

I think i ended up skipping it .. can't remember for sure though.

@domenic, I'm suggesting this gets closed since it's a non-issue.
