npm install of nyc@12 fails on Node.js 6

[JustinBeckwith]

With the latest version of nyc, npm install is failing with node.js 6. To reproduce:

nvm use 6
mkdir testy && cd testy
npm init -y
npm install nyc

That results in this error :/

My package.json in case it's helpful:

{
  "name": "babel-bug",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "nyc": "^12.0.1"
  }
}

I'm seeing this both on my local machine as well as CIrcleCI, so it's probably not an environmental thing?

Also, I can confirm that backing off to 11.9.0 fixes the issue.

Having the same problem in my project that has nyc as a dependency.

CI builds on travis are failing for node v5, v6 & v7.

working fine with nyc 11.9.0

Can confirm, same probem for multiple projects. Also 12.0.1 did not fixed it

It appears that use of bundledDependencies may be exposing an issue in [email protected].

I did a local test where I removed all bundledDependencies from package.json, I ran npm pack. This created ./nyc-12.0.1.tgz which did not contain a node_modules directory. I then pointed my test project dependency to the tarball instead of ^12.0.1, ran npm install with node 6. No errors this time.

@Apollon77 @JustinBeckwith @jcane86, et. al. this should now be addressed in 12.0.2; I've stopped bundling istanbul-lib-instrument specifically, which seemed to be the module causing issues for [email protected].

@bcoe just tried on two packages the fix works ✅ - thanks for the super quick response!

[Apollon77]

Confirmed too. 12.0.2 fixes the issue

[jcane86]

@bcoe thaks for a quick fix!!
