Unexpected token (support for older node version) about cspell HOT 5 CLOSED

When I wrote cspell (it was part of another tool) and targeting ES2015 made sense. I was not thinking about backwards compatibility with Node 4 or earlier.

I now realize that it limit its use in many production environments. I don't have an easy fix. I made extensive use of Map, Set, and Iterators. The TS team was working on back porting these concepts to ES5 and maybe ES3. If they do that, then it might be possible to compile for those modes.

Have you tried: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nexe (I have not) but it might allow you to package cspell so it can run on AWS.

Thanks I'll take a look

I have been thinking about ways to do this.

Question: Couldn't you use Node 6.10? cSpell runs just fine on Node 6.

AWS says it supports Node 4.3 and 6.10

I am guessing you are running cSpell in your CI environment and not on AWS. If your CI environment has NVM, then you can run cSpell like this: nvm exec 6 ./node_modules/cspell/dist/app.js

I was able to get it working using nvm. I don't have time to make an executable at this time.

I'll close for now. If more people want this, then would consider making binary.
