I was settings up a new system to use CodeceptJS and have hit an issue. I followed these notes, but just get an error when trying to run codeceptjs. The error is...
codeceptjs
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/codeceptjs-webdriverio/node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/mocha_factory.js:6
let mocha;

My node.js and npm is installed globally via normal apt-get and npm -g

Does anyone know the cause of this issue or how to get around it?
Just as an update, thanks to artem for the note on 'use strict'; I added that to the top of node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/mocha_factory.js and that, I think, got me past the initial problem. However I now seem to be hitting an issue in node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/output.js. The error is...
codeceptjs

...I've tried a few things to resolve this, adjusting the print function there, but with no luck yet.
This seems to be the same with the codeceptjs-nightmare and codeceptjs-webdriverio meta-packages.
I'd be grateful of any ideas, suggestions or alternatives anyone has.
Your second issue is because of an outdated Node version. The spread operator (the ... error that you're seeing) is supported in Node 5.12.0 and later: http://node.green/#ES2015-syntax-spread-------operator
I'm not sure what the best way for you to upgrade is with Ubuntu, but that should solve your issue.
