It seems like standard does not support octal numbers

Parsing error: Invalid number

If you don't mind me asking, why are you using octal numbers?

Because it simple to understand and read . for an instance 012000 | 0755 .. can you imagine something like this in decimal ? aha

This type of octal literal is very confusing and error-prone. I recommend you use the ES6 octal literal format: 0o10 is 8, for example.
