Cannot test "async" even when set it to node version 8

Please supply your config as a formatted block of text, not an image. Images are not compatible with clipboards, search engines and screen-readers, and so make it harder to help you. More info here.

Ideally, format your exception as code as well. There are several unformatted lines in your post. The code formatting tool looks like </> in the toolbar.

Thank you for your review. I updated the text. Could you please take a look?

I don’t use Node. However, I’d guess that the parser doesn’t recognise the construct you’ve used, and I’d wonder if you’re using an earlier version of the Node binary. Try --version or similar to check the version you’re using. You can get an SSH session on a failed build to try some things at the console.
