Lower minimum node version?

[stevedenman]

Hi, thanks for getting this working properly with npm 👍 . I was hoping to use version 3 in our CI pipeline on VS Team Services on their hosted agents (so I can't easily install different versions of software). They only have version 5.11.0 of node but it fails with error;

I'm assuming this is due to node being < 6.9.1 .

Hi,

This version is fully developped in ES2015/ES6 which is using the let, const, class keywords (among other things). That's why we are only compatible NodeJS 6.5 and greater. See the ES6 compatbility table over here: https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/#node65.

We're going to try to make a transformed version with BabelJS to support NodeJS versions lower than 6.5. I'm keeping you up to date :)

Done :)

You can now launch sreporter --es5 to use it with NodeJS versions < 6.9.1

See README for more details.
