SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression on running hlx import

[silky1708]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error on running hlx import inside the project directory. I've successfully installed helix cli using: npm install -g @adobe/helix-cli.

path/to/lib/node_modules/@adobe/helix-cli/node_modules/camelcase/index.js:1
const UPPERCASE = /[\p{Lu}]/u;
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /[\p{Lu}]/: Invalid property name in character class
    at ESMLoader.moduleStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:119:18)
    at ESMLoader.moduleProvider (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:468:14)

Node.js v18.16.0

I'm getting the same error on running hlx --help.

Thanks.

hi @silky1708 thanks for reporting. that is weird...

can you run

$ node -e 'console.log(/[\p{Lu}]/u.test("FooBar"));'

maybe related to:

• 'SyntaxError: invalid identity escape in regular expression' in Firefox after upgrading to v6.0.0 sindresorhus/camelcase#63 (comment)
• doc build problem in withoutintl builds nodejs/node#41077

what OS are you running this ?

Hi @tripodsan, this is the output I get on running node -e 'console.log(/[\p{Lu}]/u.test("FooBar"));':

[eval]:1
console.log(/[\p{Lu}]/u.test("FooBar"));
            ^^^^^^^^^^^

I am running this locally on MacOS.

that is weird, I have the same setup and get something different. did you install a specific variant of nodejs? or just normally using nvm ?

my output:

$ node -e 'console.log(/[\p{Lu}]/u.test("FooBar"));'
true
$ node --version
v18.16.0

Hi @tripodsan,
I re-installed node.js using brew: brew installe node, and it works fine now. Thanks!

$ node -e 'console.log(/[\p{Lu}]/u.test("FooBar"));'
true
$ node --version
v20.3.1

I am closing the issue as resolved.

thanks @silky1708 .just in case you want/need to manage several node versions, using https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm is very helpful.

just out of curiosity: do you have a special (non latin) OS / console language ?

locale on terminal gives me the following output:
