Coderunner: Print file and line number on syntax error

JavaScript
1

In case of syntax errors, coderunner does not print the file name and line number:


C:\somewhere\backendless >npm run debug


> App-servercode@1.0.0 debug C:\somewhere\backendless
> coderunner debug

Hi Michel

Thanks for the report.
This functionality was added in v1.7.0

Also, in verbose mode the CodeRunner will print the full stack trace of the error
To enable verbose mode, just run it like this:

npm run debug -- --verbose

Hi Vitaly,

I tried 1.7.0 and yes, debug does print a stack trace, but it does not show me where the syntax error is:

Still, no line number given. The stacktrace is useless in this case.
Please reopen this issue.
