SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL on comment with Web Component Tester

Question

I use Codeship to test my project based on the Polymer starter kit v1.1.

When I run npm test inside the test pipeline I see the following error:

> @ test /home/rof/src/github.com/TFarla/night-live
> gulp test:local

/home/rof/src/github.com/TFarla/night-live/node_modules/browser-sync/node_modules/lodash/index.js:8404

Here are the setup commands:

# By default we use the Node.js version set in your package.json or the latest
# version from the 0.10 release
#
# You can use nvm to install any Node.js (or io.js) version you require.
nvm install 4.0
nvm use 4.0
npm install -g bower
npm install -g gulp
npm install && bower install

Anyone got a solution?

Edit: Not sure if related but when Codeship executes npm install it outputs a lot of unmet dependencies.

Answer 1

After installing the dependencies, did you go inside the node modules directory and changed any of the lodash files ?

1. Here are some things you can try.

2. In your project dorectory, do rm -r node-modules. This will delete the node dependency directory.

3. Go to your package.json and check if the dependencies are deprecated; Check to see if they have newer version available on npm. If they do, update the package.json accordingly. (latest version for browser-sync is 2.18.13)

4. List item

5. Do npm install
6. Do bower install
