I got an reserved word error for await statements

[rbecheras]

I posted an issue on atom linter-js-standard plugin, but I guess it is most likely an issue with standard itself:

ricardofbarros/linter-js-standard#185

But I use linter-js-standard v3.9.1:

Which use standard v8.6.0 as dependency

https://github.com/ricardofbarros/linter-js-standard/blob/master/package.json

And standard seems support async/await since standard v8.3.0 (> v8.6.0)

#645 (comment)

What's wrong ?

Hello!

I think this is working normally. The error isn't very informative, but the await keyword can only be used inside of a function marked async. So the sample above is correctly marked as an error.

Just for kicks, I checked out the v8.6.0 tag and tried another sample file with different syntax, and it worked! :)

~/code/standard v8.6.0*
🕦 ❯ cat test.js

/* global foo */

async function yo () {
  let x = await foo()
  return x
}

module.exports = yo

~/code/standard v8.6.0*
🕦 ❯ node bin/cmd.js test.js
🕦 ❯ # no error returned!

I'm going to close this issue, but please feel free to continue the conversation.

I think the issue here is that the message is misleading / not as informative as it could be .

It would be better (and properly informative) if it said "The 'await' keyword can only be used inside functions marked 'async'."

I agree @brianmhunt, however the error originates from deep inside eslints parser.
