I have got the same problem π
Hi @SturmB π
Thank you for opening this issue π I don't have npm 7.6 on my current computer to give it a try but I'll check it as soon as possible. Can you also share your node version, please?
I am getting this issue with the following versions: Node: v16.6.0 NPM: 7.19.1
So, this appears to be a bit spotty when it comes to different node/npm versions. Some of them work fine while others throw that 'Syntax error: "(" unexpected' message. For example:
[β] node 14.17.4 / npm 6.14.14 (latest LTS release) [β] node 15.11.0 / npm 7.6.0 (latest during my original post) [β] node 16.2.0 / npm 7.13.0 [β] node 16.6.1 / npm 7.20.3 (latest as of this writing)
I also have a syntax error, but I don't think its the same one, I'm using node v16.6.1 with npm v7.21.0

I just install node 16.2.0 / npm 7.13.0
and the error still persists
If someone is interested in investigating why it happens it could be really helpfulπ
My question is why we use this: https://github.com/frinyvonnick/gitmoji-changelog/blob/0522b8706577743000be599f481dbdb2d2de69e5/packages/gitmoji-changelog-cli/package.json#L20-L22
Finished investigating, and came to the conclusion that it must be installed globally (npm i -g gitmoji-changelog
) and requires an additional package called xsel, which can be installed with apt install xsel
.
By this way, I'm getting another error:
We use bin because this the way to declare a cli. Here is the documentation https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-json#bin
It seems the shebang #!/usr/bin/env node
at the beginning of the bin file could solve the problem...
ping @frinyvonnick, I think that proposed solution from @jpolo is sufficient.
Still facing this issue.
node: v18.17.1
npm: v9.6.7
gitmoji-changelog: v2.3.0
Was getting the same issue after updating node to v20.7.0
, npm i -g gitmoji-changelog
solved it for me.
I updated npm to v7.6.0 today and now gitmoji-changelog is consistently giving me an error:
Before this, the first time I tried to run it after upgrade npm, it asked to be installed again for some reason, then gave me several warnings:
I can confirm that this is specific to npm 7.6+ (possibly all of 7+). Downgrading back to my previous version, npm@6.14.9, fixes the issue for now; no warnings and no syntax errors.
