Unexpected token '||=' on node < 15

[jtrull101]

Whether using the docker container or locally , I have been seeing this problem:

file:///{PATH}/free-games-claimer/gog.js:
89
db.data[user] ||= {};
^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '||='
←[90m at Loader.moduleStrategy (internal/modules/esm/translators.js:145:18)←[39m
←[90m at async link (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:63:21)←[39m

Same behavior for prime, gog, and epic

Last successful fetch was "2023-11-03 06:30:29.881" according to the epic-games.json log

Can't reproduce. Looks like you use some very old version of node. ||= was added in v15:

The docker image has a newer version, so idk how that should be possible.

Are you still on bullseye or which OS are you using?

See https://nodejs.org/en/download/ for how to install a newer version.

Running on Win 11. Node version reported by gitbash is v14.17.3
The date of the last fetch coincides with some angular work I was doing on my local environment with that node version. Thank you for looking into this

But maybe a good idea to check the node version in the script if that's possible without tripping up the lexer already for old versions.

Yea, as expected, doesn't work:

Could check node -v, but doesn't make sense to have some wrapper for that.

Put the constraint in package.json such that it could be checked for #219 or npx.
