Specify the requirements

[gido]

it looks like toolbox is not compatible with node 6 (use of trailing comma in function args list, use of async, etc).

It would be nice to see if we can be compatible with the maximum version of node and at least define with which version of nodejs this project is compatible.

Indeed, I saw that the last major version of our generator doesn't have the engine specified in the package.json.

I don't completely agree with the fact that we have to support a big range of Node's versions. Actually, the LTS (stable for prod) is in 8.10.0 and as you said, under 8.0.0, there is no async support, it's a bit the Middle Ages of JavaScript and we must live in the present 😉

We have to readd the engine definition in the package.json project with something like :

"engines": {
  "node": ">=8.0.0",
  "npm": ">=5.0.0"
},

+1 for defining the requirement in the package.json

6.x is still Active until the end of April 2018 and will be maintained until April 2019. So it's not really the Middle Ages of Javascript ;-)

I agree we must live in the present but think also of the past and don't drop to easily active/maintained version of nodejs without a good reason.

This needs to be fixed, it's quite annoying. As @knuch said in #36, if you don't work with Node 12, it's broken. SMH

The weird fact is that I still haven't Node 12 installed on my Mac (even on the last contrib) 😅

“it's broken” is not very relevant... What's broken exactly ?
