@Shriram-Balaji and @haochuan Can you produce some code for this?

[haochuan]

@rjoydip

This is all I have to get the error:

const signale = require('signale');
signale.success('Operation successful');

[rjoydip-zz]

@haochuan I don't understand why this is happening on your end. But it's working fine in here. 😕

[ThunbergOlle]

I have got the solution:

This is clientsided. You will have to update your version of Nodejs to the latest.

[shrirambalaji]

@ThunbergOlle Could you please brief us if you know why exactlyy this is occurring. I do understand that this problem is not occuring in node 8 and above, the problem is that I can't use signale if I want to support node 6 because of the error.

[ThunbergOlle]

I don't know why exactly it's occurring. I just wanted to share how other people can fix it that can update the node version.

There are probally more modules that's similar to this.
