Question
Build Error: Non-Zero Exit | SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

Getting an error that I cannot pin down the proper solution for. The error given is
$ node ace build
[2022-03-08 19:10:23] /workspace/node_modules/@poppinss/utils/build/src/Helpers/string.js:241
[2022-03-08 19:10:23] return ${values[0]}${options?.pairSeparator || ' and '}${values[1]};
[2022-03-08 19:10:23] ^
[2022-03-08 19:10:23]
[2022-03-08 19:10:23] SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘.’
I believe that this is due to an improper Node version from what I am able to tell, but after updating node, and updating yarn, I am still getting this same error on the build stage. Any idea’s on steps I can take to further troubleshoot / known solutions to this problem? I am a current Computer Science student, so please excuse my obvious ignorance in this matter as this is my first time using DigitalOcean.

Hello,
Have you tried specifying your Node version?
You can do that by specifying the version in the
enginesdirective of thepackage.jsonfile as described here:https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/languages-frameworks/nodejs/#node-version
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
