Add support of Node 6.x

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

Would it be possible to add support of Node 6.x ?
It is the current LTS and people in large companies (like myself) might be stuck on it. That would be a shame to not let them use this nice libary :)

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I'm only interested in supporting version of Node that support async/await natively. The differences in ES6 feature support between 6 and 8 is pretty extensive.

What about using a transpiler like babel ? The source code will be identical and the output of the build will be compatible with Node 6.x .

@pgn-vole Unfortunately that's not something that's in the cards for this module - there's just no need to transpile anymore. I'd encourage you to take the fight to your company and get them on the latest version.

mocha-chromerequires Node v8.0.0 or higher. Unfortunately the project won't be supporting a lower version number at this time. If you're in a situation where Node cannot be upgraded on a production server, not to worry! mocha-chrome is a dev tool, which means you can use tools like NVM and nodenv to manage your installed versions, and temporarily switch to v8+ to run tests on your machine. Most modern CI environments also support specifying the version of Node to run.
