Syntax error on compiling nullish coalescing assignment (??=)

[rbdeenk]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2022 community
• This extension: 1.14.11

Description

Getting syntax error when trying to compile nullish coalescing assignment (??=).

Steps to recreate

1. Create a js file
2. Write any code that implements ??=
3. Compile file with the extension

Current behavior

It throws an Exception stating "unexpected token"

Expected behavior

It should be able to compile ??= into either a null check with assignment or see ??= as valid.

I’ll see if the libraries support this yet, either way we’re due for an update, I just gotta find some time.

Curious to hear if there is any progression in this issue.

I'm working through NUglify Issues, I just fixed an issue with deconstruction, I'll take a look at this next.

Can you provide your compiler config? What are you compiling the js from/to?

[rbdeenk]

My files look like the following:

[
    {
        "outputFile": "/js/MyFile.es5.js",
        "inputFile": "/js/MyFile.js"
    }
]

Note that the files throwing the exception are not present in the config. The exception appears in visual studios "Error list". It looks like:

SyntaxError: DISK:/FILEPATH/MyFile.js: Unexpected token (line:column)

Thanks, this looks like an issue with Babel, hopefully updating it will resolve the issue. I'll let you know once I get the rest of the issues addressed and update the dependencies.

I'm trying to get a new version out, but I am getting errors trying to update the node_modules... I'm getting errors from node-gyp compiling node-sass. Is anyone able to rebuild the node_module.7z file using the build.cmd file?

// I may have to drop node_sass support if I cannot get this working

Sorry I am not very knowledgeable on how to do this so i won't be of much help sadly
