I am trying to login on facebook.com with selenium-webdriver.

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
    By = require('selenium-webdriver').By,
    until = require('selenium-webdriver').until;

var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
    .forBrowser('firefox')
    .build();

driver.get('https://www.facebook.com/login');
driver.findElement(By.id('email')).sendKeys('****');
driver.findElement(By.id('pass')).sendKeys('*****');
driver.findElement(By.id('loginbutton')).click();

driver.findElement(By.linkText('Settings')).then(function(element) {
  console.log('Yes, found the element');
}, function(error) {
  console.log('The element was not found, as expected');
});
driver.quit();

It is giving error:

/home/shubham/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/index.js:25
const builder = require('./builder');
^^^^^

Updating nodejs solved the issue:

npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
node --version
node app.js

You have to run the second and third command as root/administrator.

    I noticed you use `nodejs` as command line. It should be `node`. Can you print the "node --version"? – tenbits Apr 22 '16 at 10:04
  • node --version && nodejs --version && whereis node && /usr/local/bin/node --version && sudo mv node node_0_12_2 && whereis nodejs && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs node – Torin Finnemann Apr 07 '17 at 13:01
  • Above solution only updates the node version which would have updated the node version from `v0.10.37` to a newer version which is 4 or later which supports `const` in strict mode so the error would have resolved. A proper solution can be found under https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43932038/husky-giving-error-syntaxerror-use-of-const-in-strict-mode/44168690#44168690 – G G May 24 '17 at 21:40
  • Updating NodeJS solves this problem. But, After running `sudo npm install -g n` you might get following error: `npm: relocation error: npm: symbol SSL_set_cert_cb, version libssl.so.10 not defined in file libssl.so.10 with link time reference` In order to overcome this error, try upgrading openssl using the below command: `sudo yum update openssl` – Dibya Sahoo Nov 07 '17 at 07:04

n stable wouldn't do the trick for me. On the other hand,

nvm install stable

That actually got me to last nodejs version. Apparently n stable won't get pass v0.12.14 for me. I really don't know why.

Note: nvm is Node Version Manager, you can install it from its github page. Thanks @isaiah for noting that nvm is not a known command.

For me it was more simple to solve, just going to the Node web site, get and install the LTS version.

Update your node and it will resolve this problem.

That error means your node's publish is low than the need. carefully to update the node of your computer.
