Unexpected token in Eslint Plugin, eslint command works fine

[jayshah123]

Vscode version: 1.25.1 Eslint plugin version: 1.4.12 Node version: v8.11.3 Mac Os: High Sierra I tried to update Eslint plugin version to 1.9.0 but even after install it remains 1.4.12. I tried to update VSCode itself, but it says no updates available.

In package.json

    "eslint": "^5.16.0",
    "babel-eslint": "^10.0.1",

Eslint terminal output window:

This is caused by the fact that the plugin uses a JS construct which is not supported yet by electron node. You can use the setting eslint.runtime to point to a never version of node that supports that feature.

eslint.runtime is an Unknown configuration setting in VSCode settings. eslint.nodePath was a valid configuration setting but issue still persists after updating eslint.nodePath to point to node v10.6.0 @dbaeumer

Finally, I just downloaded vscode 1.35.1 and it uses eslint extension version 1.9.0 where issue no longer occurs.
