SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function

[alikabeer32]

my code:

const { QAClient } = require("question-answering"); // If using vanilla JS

const text = `
  Super Bowl 50 was an American football game to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2015 season.
  The American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Carolina Panthers 24–10 to earn their third Super Bowl title. The game was played on February 7, 2016, at Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area at Santa Clara, California.
  As this was the 50th Super Bowl, the league emphasized the "golden anniversary" with various gold-themed initiatives, as well as temporarily suspending the tradition of naming each Super Bowl game with Roman numerals (under which the game would have been known as "Super Bowl L"), so that the logo could prominently feature the Arabic numerals 50.
`;

const question = "Who won the Super Bowl?";

const qaClient = await QAClient.fromOptions();
const answer = await qaClient.predict(question, text);

console.log(answer); // { text: 'Denver Broncos', score: 0.3 }

Error :

Update: I put it in an async function but now I get this error: Error: The specified module could not be found. \?\C:\project\node_modules\question-answering\node_modules\@tensorflow\tfjs-node\lib\napi-v5\tfjs_binding.node

It seems your problem is related to the underlying TensorFlow library. Can you try running npm i @tensorflow/tfjs-node in your project to be sure it's correctly installed and try again?

I get the same issue as @alikabeer32

I've run the npm i above and have the following package.json

    "@tensorflow/tfjs-node": "^1.7.4",
    "question-answering": "^2.0.1"

Any sugggestions?

[braaannigan]

I'm on node version v10.13.0 btw

[Pierrci]

Which issue are you referring to exaclty @braaannigan? The one from the first message or the second message?

[braaannigan]

Hi @Pierrci I think I fixed this by updating all my versions of node/npm etc. Have had a computer rebuild in the interim, so can't provide any more detail unfortunately.

Great! Closing this for now, feel free to reopen if needed.
