Unexpected token 'export' using Sequelize v6.1.1

[bethn26]

sequelize/sequelize#11950 Issue Description Using the new v6.1.1 sequelize and the accompanying sequelize-cli, I get an error trying to do anything. Error is: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

What are you doing?

npm install sequelize sequelize-cli --save-dev npx sequelize init

--> sequelize init throws the error above (stack trace below)

Alternate Steps: //do a simple test connection, per the documentation

--> running this code also throws the same error --> also, running all my examples that used to work, when I use sequelize v6.1.1 throw this same error. I have the code working properly with sequelize 4 and 5, but as soon as I install the latest, this error happens, seemingly anytime I try to call any sequelize method.

const {Sequelize} = require('sequelize');
const sequelize = new Sequelize('best_todo_ever', 'root', '', {
    host: 'localhost',
    dialect:  'mysql'
  });

  (async()=>{
    try {
        await sequelize.authenticate();
        console.log('Connection has been established successfully.');
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Unable to connect to the database:', error);
      }
  })()

What do you expect to happen?

npx sequelize init --> should run without error and initialize the folders, like it does in version 5 the js code should run and successfully test the connection

What is actually happening?

error occurs, always this same error

export { default as v1 } from './v1.js';
^^^^^^

I'm having the same issue but with the import token. I've created a quick fix on my end by changing the index.js file to call the module with the sequelize instance rather than import it

[sushantdhiman]

Can you submit a sample project link which I can clone and check. Issue is in uuid it seems, as we are simply doing require('uuid'). Have you guys inspected node_modules/uuid code, does that looks ok?

I noticed that the issue I had was fixed in a later release of sequelize-cli so ignore my comment in this thread because I don't think it's related to this issue.

Is this still an issue? I am currently experiencing the same problem as detailed above on 6.21?

[jkervine]

Seems like it is. Just came across this with cli version 6.4.1.

Also tested with Sequelize CLI [Node: 16.19.1, CLI: 6.6.0, ORM: 6.29.3] - same problem.

I'm also having this problem with sequelize 6.5.0 and sequelize-cli 6.2.0. I fixed one ESM/ES6 issue where a require-ing module was using export instead of module.exports, but the problem continues to block execution of the seeders.
