Unexpected or invalid token in the require statement

[jigsnptel]

Description

I installed hedera-js-sdk on my machine before few months. it was working fine. suddenly it is giving error in the "require" stmt, the error is "unexpected or invalid token". I tried all the options like, installing hedera js sdk again, removed node_modules and again used npm install, created new file. nothing works. I tried "import" option also. but it gives "unexpected token {" error. pls help. I also tried "experimental modules" option. nothing works.

Steps to reproduce

const { Client } = require("@hashgraph/sdk"); require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {

//Grab your Hedera testnet account ID and private key from your .env file
const myAccountId = process.env.MY_ACCOUNT_ID;
const myPrivateKey = process.env.MY_PRIVATE_KEY;

// If we weren't able to grab it, we should throw a new error
if (myAccountId == null ||
    myPrivateKey == null ) {
    throw new Error("Environment variables myAccountId and myPrivateKey must be present");
}
const client = Client.forTestnet();

client.setOperator(myAccountId, myPrivateKey);

} main();

Try changing the value 10_000 to 10000 and see if that works.
