go to that file and delete that line (with ...r)

Hi, I am having the same issue here, for some reason node doesn't recognize the ... operator; and deleting that line doesn't work (/ isn't a right fix for this, doesn't work because the same ... operator is used in other files as well). I tried searching google what could cause this, it said that node only supports it since node 8.6.0; but I have the following versions installed:

And have the latest version of this repo: 5d94ddcce71cd87df16efbefed5ba59b2e8a6f0a

What could be causing this? Is this a MacOS specific thing that it doesn't recognize that operator?

Problem is caused by an outdated version of Electron, which doesn't have the support for the Spread Operator. Changing the version in package.json to 8.1.1 or electron does the trick.
