SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

Solution

  • This error appears because you have an earlier version of Node installed on your machine.

    The Mobile Center CLI, mobile-center, requires the latest version of Node.

    Here's the steps I used to fix this error:

    1. Install HomeBrew
    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

    1. Update to the latest version of Node by entering these commands into your Terminal

      sudo brew uninstall node
brew update
brew upgrade
brew cleanup
brew install node
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local
brew link --overwrite node
sudo brew postinstall node

    2. Uninstall/Reinstall mobile-center-cli to ensure you have the most recent version of the Mobile Center CLI by entering these commands into your terminal

      npm uninstall -g mobile-center-cli
npm install -g mobile-center-cli

    3. Log into Mobile Center via CLI by entering this command into your terminal*

      mobile-center login

    4. You are now able to upload your UITests to Mobile Center using the CLI

      mobile-center test run uitest --app [appname] --devices [deviceID] --app-path [LocationOfYourAppOnYour]  --test-series "master" --locale "en_US" --assembly-dir [FolderContainingUITestDLL]
