I'm taking a look at https://github.com/intoli/remote-browser. I'm working in win10 with node 11.5. I've followed the instructions at the bottom of the repo:

# Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/intoli/remote-browser.git
cd remote-browser

# Install the dependencies.
yarn install

# Build the project.
yarn build

# Run the tests.
yarn test

Now when I try to run it using :

$ node src/index.js
E:\ENVS\js\remote-browser\src\index.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Browser from './browser';
                                                                    ^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

    at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:774:12)
    at executeUserCode (internal/bootstrap/node.js:342:17)

How can I get this working?

edit index.js:

import Browser from './browser';
import ConnectionProxy from './connections/proxy';

export default Browser;
export { Browser };
export { ConnectionProxy };
export * from './errors';
export * from './launchers';

    You can't do an import statement inside a function. Commented Aug 20, 2019 at 14:58
  • Doesn't Node support import yet? How come implementing this standard ES6 feature take such a long time? Commented Aug 20, 2019 at 14:59
  • @JeremyThille Node does support it, but in any environment import must be at the global (module) level, not inside of a function. Commented Aug 20, 2019 at 14:59

You can't run node src/index.js. When you run yarn build it will create a new folder dist in the root folder, which has all the source code. Go to this folder and find the index.js file, open this to learn more.

Thanks Tran, didn't know that. I've added the package.json file above, but I am not seeing dist in the root directory, so something is wrong and I guess the build did not happen.
You can go here https://github.com/intoli/remote-browser/blob/master/webpack/client.config.js to view how to project build. It has an output that have path: path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'dist'),. This means it will build source to dist file. To learn more, please learning webpack to learn how this build your source.
