mmdc doesn't support stateDiagram?

[Synchro]

I'm trying to use mermaid.cli for generating state diagrams. A minimal state diagram file from the examples:

stateDiagram
    [*] --> Still
    Still --> [*]

run with mmdc -i test.mmd -o test.mmd results in this crash:

(node:68719) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Evaluation failed: Error: Parse error on line 1:

It actually hangs at this point and requires a ctrl-C to exit.

Is this because mermaid.cli bundles an old version of the library that doesn't support state diagrams, as mentioned in #71 ?

I just ran into the same issue. Seems there is no more activity on this repo :-(
I will try to render the my graphs as graph LR @Synchro

Update: I finally made beautiful state diagrams with plantUML. Their cli works fine @Synchro

Development has moved to the https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli repo, please re-open your issue there if it's still relevant.
The package has also been renamed on NPM to @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli, so you may need to run npm uninstall mermaid.cli && npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli to get the latest version of this package.
