[BUG] Error when installing: SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

[ngoov]

Overview of the issue

When trying to do:
npm install -g @compodoc/compodoc
or on yarn
yarn global add @compodoc/compodoc
or a local install on an angular 5.0.1 application
(tried this in both git-bash and PowerShell)

I receive a coffee-script error:

Operating System, Node.js, npm, compodoc version(s)

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise N 2016 LTSB
Node: 8.9.1
npm: 5.4.2
yarn: 1.3.2

Compodoc installed globally or locally ?

Trying both global and local installs, neither work

[karloscode]

Same issue here!!

[felipebri23]

I have the same issue

[vogloblinsky]

@karloscode @felipebri23
Can i have ?
Node, npm, OS versions
Thanks

[KenVanGilbergen]

You can work around the issue by changing coffee-script to coffeescript in the package.json

[karloscode]

We can use in local development changing the package.json but not work with CI

[vogloblinsky]

I don't use directly coffeescript inside compodoc.
Which dependency is related to that ? @KenVanGilbergen ?

[karloscode]

Yes , is in shelljs

https://github.com/shelljs/shelljs/blob/master/package.json

I think this is a unused dependency.

[vogloblinsky]

Yes it is a dev-dependency inside shelljs.

Here is the main issue inside coffeescript : jashkenas/coffeescript#4805

No clear solution.

I will try to find a cleaner alternative.

[vogloblinsky]

After searching inside codebase, shelljs seems to not be used anymore. I remove the dependency.

Everyting will be fine with next release.
