I have a webserver that works when I use node or nodemon (e.g. nodemon index.js). However, when I try to use pm2 (pm2 start index.js), I get SyntaxError: Unexpected token import. The full error log is below. What am I doing wrong here?



/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/ProcessContainerFork.js:29
import(process.env.pm_exec_path);
^^^^^^

Hit the same issue.



pm2 released version 4.2.2 which only works with Node 10.x or better, so:



Best solution is to upgrade your node from 9.x to 10.x or better.



In my case I wanted to stick to node 9 so I fixed the version of pm2 to version 4.2.1



I use npm to install pm2 in my Dockerfile:



Changing:



RUN npm install -g [email protected] pm2


To:



RUN npm install -g [email protected] [email protected]


Will fix the issue and allow you to continue working with node 9 and pm2 4.2.1



If you install pm2 in some other way post your install details and I can recommend how to fix.
