'SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token' Appears When Entering 'npm run debug' in Terminal
I am new to Node and am trying to set up Nightwatch so I can run automated tests and practice my testing skills. I also want to clarify that I am on a Windows 10 computer. I am currently having issues with running 'npm run debug' as I have it set to the correct directory after entering 'npx which nightwatch' and seeing 'C:Usersjtorres ightwatch-tests ode_modules.bin ightwatch.CMD'. Afterwards, I run the debugger and open 'chrome://inspect/#devices' to verify that the debugger runs and is functioning properly, only to see several error messages. I have tried changing the directory to 'node_modules/nightwatch/bin/nightwatch' and made a new 'nightwatch.cmd' file to see if there was an error after it was created automatically, but none of these methods have worked.
Errors:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { @IF EXIST "%~dp0
