"Octal literals are not allowed in strict mode." is not a synax error #2684
Description
Activity
The error comes from V8 not from node. Sadly, there is no
MorphologyErrorbuilt into JavaScript.Oooooookay.
@tom-- Node.js uses v8 JavaScript engine and the error is thrown when v8 parses your source code. You might want take this up with the v8 project.
MorphologyError. WANT!!!!
The error message is not technically correct. Octal, hex, decimal etc. are differences in morphology, not syntax. So it is a grammar error and, more specifically, it is a morphology error but it is not a syntax error.
