Travis ci failing - SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

[vojtechruz]

I followed the tutorial for Travis CI configuration here: https://commitlint.js.org/#/guides-ci-setup

After creating a PR here: vojtechruz/commitlint-example#2

My Travis build failed with the following error:

const execa = require('execa');
^^^^^

My .travis.yml:

language: node_js
script:
  - commitlint-travis

My commitlint config file:

module.exports = {
    extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional']
};

My dependencies:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@commitlint/cli": "^8.2.0",
    "@commitlint/config-conventional": "^8.2.0",
    "@commitlint/travis-cli": "^8.2.0",
    "husky": "^3.0.9"
  }

Hey @vojtechruz, what node version are you running? From your travis logs it looks like v0.10.48:

$ node --version
v0.10.48

https://travis-ci.org/vojtechruz/commitlint-example/builds/610394079?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification

Commitlint only supports above v6 at the moment. And I'm not sure if this is still up-to-date.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I suspected it is the node version, so Included this in my Travis to use the latest node:

node:
  - node

It didn't work.

Now I investigated again and discovered that the correct syntax is:

node_js:
  - node

With this, it works. In the documentation of commitlint CI integration, the Travis config does not mention node version setup. Maybe the docs could be updated to reflect this for the new users to save them the pain of investigation?

If you want to add extra info to the docs we're happy to receive a PR.
The docs are mentioning language: node_js. Maybe this could be more clear.

[vojtechruz]

Created PR with node version defined so the build does not break.

Sorry, now it should be ok.
