Can you elaborate the issue ? What exactly did you execute ? And easy-pdf-merge is a npm module, not an app. So, what did you execute ?

[0ruben]

You need to upgrade your NODEJS version

[karuppiah7890]

@0ruben Yeah, I guess you are right. Errors occur because template literals are not supported until v4.3.2

And for PaaS purposes I will update the engines key in package.json to the 6.9.1 LTS version

Hi all,

Any updates from the issue. I got the same issue on my server (works well on local) /node_modules/easy-pdf-merge/lib/PDFMerger.js:32 norm_src.push("${src[i]}"); ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL at Module._compile (module.js:439:25) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.

@Tin-Nguyen Use the latest stable version of NodeJS and you should be fine :smile:

[Tin-Nguyen]

just concerning why the lib works well locally has the same nodeJS version 5.7.1 as the server.

[karuppiah7890]

Oh. Can you recheck ? Because I don't see any other error in the line from your Syntax Error Stack Trace

[Tin-Nguyen]

Yeah, I figured out the root cause. Fixed it. Thanks @karuppiah7890

[karuppiah7890]

@Tin-Nguyen What was the root cause ?
