P.D. I am working on a OS Windows 10 desktop computer.

Grave (`) is marked as illegal token

I've been trying to transfer a node program I created locally to an EC2 server via Cloud9, and I have already manually replaced all of the (req,res) => {} statements because it didn't accept that. However, now it's giving me
console.log(`foo ${bar}`)
^

It works fine on my local server and it runs fine here too, even without nodejs.
var bar = "bar"
console.log(`foo ${bar}`)
The version of node is v13.9.0 and it was installed via nvp.
Anyone know why this is happening? I really don't want to go through and convert all the strings with `

Thanks for the help, I figured out that cloud9 automatically installs nodejs, just not the right version. It installs 10.19.0, while the current latest version is 13.10.0. I installed the latest version, but the default was still 10.19.0. For anyone else having this problem, do
nvm ls
to list your installed node versions, then use
nvm alias default 13.10.0 (replace with whatever version you want)

Reading from an external file in node.js

I've just started using node.js, and I have been looking for ways to count the number of lines in a cpp file stored on my machine (in a different directory from that of the node.js app).
I am trying just read text from a cpp file stored inside the node.js project for now, with this function:
console.log(fs.readFileSync('code.cpp', 'utf8'));
but I get this error:
fs.js:646 return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path),
stringToFlags(flags), mode);
^

Process finished with exit code 1
Is this the right approach to the problem? if so how can I fix this error?
Thanks in advance.

according to the error that you get , your script cant locate the file.
make sur that 'code.cpp' is in the same location as your script
try using path.join(__dirname, 'code.cpp');
var fs = require('fs'),
path = require('path'),
file = path.join(__dirname, 'code.cpp');
console.log(fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8'));

Playing a local file on RPi with Node.js

I have a Raspberry Pi set up with a Node.js app that responds when it sees button push from an Amazon Dash Button. It was originally supposed to be a silent doorbell from https://github.com/initialstate/silent-doorbell, but I would like to just have it play a local sound file. Which I think should be easy enough, but my inexperience with coding leaves me just trying new stuff that I find all over the internet.
I can play the file from the terminal with the following and it plays just fine:
$ omxplayer example.mp3
But, no matter how I try to put it in the Node.js app and trigger when the Dash Button is pressed it won't work.
var dash_button = require('node-dash-button'),
dash = dash_button('XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'), //REPLACE WITH YOUR ADDRESS
exec = require('child_process').exec;
Omx = require('node-omxplayer');
player = Omx('~/node_modules/node-dash-button/example.mp3');
let spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
dash.on('detected', function() {
console.log('Button pushed!');
player.play();
});
When run with my latest as above, I get this:
/home/pi/node_modules/node-dash-button/doorbell.js:7
let spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

After upgrading Node.js to the newest version as suggested by #Quentin using the Major Version Upgrade directions on this site http://thisdavej.com/upgrading-to-more-recent-versions-of-node-js-on-the-raspberry-pi/ I was able to get past this. Now I can't get past how to properly use omxplayer. When running the same code as above after the Node.js upgrade I now get this error after pressing the Amazon Dash button which then crashes the app:
pi#raspberrypi:~/node_modules/node-dash-button $ sudo node doorbell.js
Button pushed!

throw new Error('Player is closed.');

I tried a few different things to try and get the player to spawn with no luck. The index.js file referenced mentions to use the player.running command but I still get the player is closed error when attempting to use this.

You are using a version of Node older than the 4.x series.
Consequently it sees let as an identifier rather than the keyword, so it doesn't expect it to be immediately followed by another identifier (spawn).
Upgrade your installation of Node to a current version.
Alternatively, use a different variable declaration, such as var.

Run node.js with different file extension

Is is possible to run node.js with a different extension than .js like: node server.type instead of node server.js?
I have tried require.extensions
require.extensions['.type'] = require.extensions['.js'];
but I get this error:
Error: /root/project/server.type: invalid ELF header
at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
at startup (node.js:119:16)
at node.js:901:3
However I think this has nothing to do with require unless I want to require these files from within node.js.

Works just fine:
$ echo 'console.log("hello world")' > server.type
$ node server.type
hello world
But I'm guessing that you want to run it as an executable. In that case, start your script with:
#!/usr/bin/env node
# followed by your actual script:
console.log("hello world");
And make your script executable:
chmod 755 server.type
After that:
$ /root/project/server.type
hello world
