Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) when trying out the sample...

[janbaer]

I've a problem only with trying out the sample from your readme page!

   1) Error on page "http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/":

      Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token )

and the error will be shown here

 >  8 |      .typeText('#input', 'Peter Parker')

I've used ChromeCanary for my test and I was running test cafe version 0.9.0 Do I need any specific Node version? I'm using 6.5.0 here on a MacOS system. Thanks!

Hi Jan,
I've checked some our examples in the documentation and they work properly in Chrome Canary. Could you please provide code of the example you've run?

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

It seems you've tried to run this example. It's failed on my side but with another error. Anyway this test is replaced with the new one already.

[janbaer]

I just tried the new example, but with the same result:

  1) Error on page "http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/":

      Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token )

      Browser: Chrome 56.0.2905 / Mac OS X 10.12.1

          3 |fixture `Example page`
          4 |    .page `https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example`;
          5 |
          6 |test('Emulate user actions and perform a verification', async t => {
          7 |    await t
       >  8 |        .setNativeDialogHandler(() => true)
          9 |        .click('#populate')
         10 |        .click('#submit-button');
         11 |
         12 |    const location = await t.eval(() => window.location);
         13 |

It looks like that it's a problem await. How is it running, with babel?

Update With Safari the example is running, but not with Chrome Canary.
Maybe it's because Chrome Canary is supporting ansync/await natively and the the polyfill is doing something different (https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5643236399906816)

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

I've tried to run this in Chrome Canary today at it was ok on my side. It maybe something wrong with babel modules. I'll try to investigate this tomorrow.

@janbaer, It seems I've reproduced the problem. But it's gone after I reinstalled testcafe. I uninstalled it locally and globally and then installed it again globally:

npm uninstall testcafe
sudo npm uninstall -g testcafe
npm install -g testcafe

Please try this on your side and notify me is the test works.

[janbaer]

Unfortunately it hasn't helped, after reinstalling of testcafe I got the same error with ChromeCanary. Will try it with Chrome...

[janbaer]

With a fresh installed Chrome it's also working.

Chrome 54.0.2840 / Mac OS X 10.12.1

only with ChromeCanary it's failing

Browser: Chrome 56.0.2905 / Mac OS X 10.12.1

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

Is it failed in ChromeCanary with Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) error on the > 8 | .setNativeDialogHandler(() => true) line?

[janbaer]

Yes, exactly this error I got! I also posted the complete error in a previous post and it's still the same. Can you reproduce it?

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

Unfortunately no. It works on my side with exactly the same configuration. I'll do some more investigation and notify you when a have some results.

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

@janbaer Could you please run the test in Chrome Canary in Incognito mode. To accomplish this open the browser in Incognito mode and run the test as described in the Remote Browsers article.
