SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Running into this error when starting my express server:

node_modules/spdy-transport/lib/spdy-transport/priority.js:81
PriorityNode.prototype.removeChildren = function removeChildren () {
^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Not able to resolve it.

This Error is caused by an mistakenly commented out line in:
node_modules/spdy-transport/lib/spdy-transport/priority.js

Line 71:
PriorityNode.prototype.removeChild = function removeChild (child) {
this.children.weight -= child.weight
var index = utils.binarySearch(this.children.list, child, compareChildren)
/*
if (index !== -1 && this.children.list.length >= index) {
*/
this.children.list.splice(index, 1)
}
}

You all probably followed this "fix" and forgot about it. Congratulations!: #47 (comment)

First of all, the linked comment is extremly bad practice. Like unbelievable bad. Further, you probably should remember when you implement said bad practice in your projects, or, ideally, never do that.

I just had to deal with a project which also implemented said "fix" and its horrible.

As critically explained by @Mydayyy, removing the quickFix mentioned in this comment did the job! Thanks all! 😅
