Unexpected Token Case

[khrome83]

Every time I run a command like -
'node ./node_modules/.bin/istanbul check-coverage'

I get the following error -

C:\Users\zanem\Documents\GitHub\impressjs\node_modules\.bin\istanbul:4
case `uname` in
^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token case
    at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:404:25)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:432:10)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:457:10)
    at startup (node.js:136:18)
    at node.js:972:3

If I run this with Mocha, then it reports the same issue, but states that it happening in _mocha:4 instead.

This happens when I try to setup Istanbul to run cover over mocha. It happens when I just try and run Istanbul. I am at a loss and can't find anything about this anywhere.

Help please!

Appears that the path to mocha was valid in unix but not in windows.

./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha changing to this solved the problem. While I could call Istanbul from ./bin/Istanbul, I could not call mocha from the same location.

I have the same problem. And tried with .\node_modules.bin_mocha, still "SyntaxError: Unexpected token case" How can I fix it?

node_modules\.bin\istanbul cover .\node_modules\.bin\_mocha -- --compilers js:babel/register
No coverage information was collected, exit without writing coverage information
D:\source\responsive-ui\node_modules\.bin\_mocha:4
case `uname` in

Solved by running "istanbul cover node_modules\mocha\bin\mocha -- --compilers js:babel/register --recursive". But received "No coverage information was collected, exit without writing coverage information".

Finally successful by running "istanbul cover node_modules\mocha\bin_mocha -- --compilers js:babel/register --recursive"

where do you change the patch? How to change the path? Should we place the config file there or should we manually change the execution path? Please help..
