SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode? - node.js

Question

I am trying to login on facebook.com with selenium-webdriver.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
By = require('selenium-webdriver').By,
until = require('selenium-webdriver').until;
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser('firefox')
.build();
driver.get('https://www.facebook.com/login');
driver.findElement(By.id('email')).sendKeys('****');
driver.findElement(By.id('pass')).sendKeys('*****');
driver.findElement(By.id('loginbutton')).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText('Settings')).then(function(element) {
console.log('Yes, found the element');
}, function(error) {
console.log('The element was not found, as expected');
});
driver.quit();
It is giving error:
/home/shubham/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/index.js:25
const builder = require('./builder');
^^^^^

Answer 1

Updating nodejs solved the issue:
npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
node --version
node app.js
You have to run the second and third command as root/administrator.

Answer 2

n stable wouldn't do the trick for me. On the other hand,
nvm install stable
That actually got me to last nodejs version. Apparently n stable won't get pass v0.12.14 for me. I really don't know why.
Note: nvm is Node Version Manager, you can install it from its github page. Thanks #isaiah for noting that nvm is not a known command.

Answer 3

For me it was more simple to solve, just going to the Node web site, get and install the LTS version.

Answer 4

Update your node and it will resolve this problem.

Answer 5

Updating NodeJS solves this problem.
But, after running sudo npm install -g n you might get following error:
npm: relocation error: npm: symbol SSL_set_cert_cb, version libssl.so.10 not defined in file libssl.so.10 with link time reference
In order to overcome this error, try upgrading openssl using the below command:
sudo yum update openssl

Answer 6

That error means your node's publish is low than the need.
carefully to update the node of your computer.
