Can't install new plugins

See original GitHub issue

Hi

We have a problem when is about to install a plugin from the admin interface of Etherpad. When clicking on “Install” of any plugin, nothing happen in the web interface, but the log print out this:

[ERROR] console - SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...
    at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:373:25)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:353:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:12:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/var/www/etherpad_mypads/src/node_modules/npm/lib/install.js:109:13)
    at Module._compile (module.js:409:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)

Then Etherpad restart, and so on if we retry. The log is the same with loglevel set at DEBUG.

We running node v4.9.1, npm v2.15.11 and Etherpad v1.6.5. Version 1.6.6 is affected the same way.

I confirm that upgrading to node 6 instead of 4 fix the issue on our side as well. Thanks for finding a solution to that 😃

I solved the problem after installing node 6 (it’s ubuntu 12, so don’t judge…) and all updates for the node modules.

Would be nice, if the error message could hint in this direction?
