Gulp-Sourcemaps, SyntaxError: Unexpected token >

问题

Gulp / npm noobie here.

I'm trying to use gulp-sourcemaps, and for some reason, it crashes on var sourcemaps = require('sourcemaps').(It crash only when this line's in the file)

gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');


gulp.task('generateApp', function () {
    return gulp.src([some paths...])
        .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
        .pipe(concat('app.min.js'))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(path...));
});

Error :

C:\Projets\node_modules\strip-bom\index.js:2
module.exports = x => {
                    ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token >

Has anyone encounter this type of error? I tried to google it, without any success.

回答1:

I just started getting the same error and fixed it by replacing the code in C:\Projects\node_modules\strip-bom\index.js with this:

'use strict';
module.exports = function (x) {
    if (typeof x !== 'string') {
        throw new TypeError('Expected a string, got ' + typeof x);
    }

    // Catches EFBBBF (UTF-8 BOM) because the buffer-to-string
    // conversion translates it to FEFF (UTF-16 BOM)
    if (x.charCodeAt(0) === 0xFEFF) {
        return x.slice(1);
    }

    return x;
};

Then, I had to run npm rebuild node-sass to get it to work again. It seems to be an issue with an older version of the Strip-bom node module.

UPDATED ANSWER:

This error is caused by using an older version of Node. The Strip-bom module is now using ES2015 (ES6) syntax which requires Node 5.0+. (See Node's ES2015 support list here)

To test your version of Node, run:

node -v

If it's less than 5.0, you'll need to update it. You can download the newest version of Node here:

https://nodejs.org/en/

After installing the new version of Node, I still needed to run npm rebuild node-sass to get Gulp up and running again.

The former answer will still work if you don't want to update your Node version, however, as Louis pointed out, manually editing node module files is not a best-practice.
