Syntax error with getpapers minimal usage

[mtdunstan]

I tried to follow the example of the previous issue, installation of getpapers with nvm seemed to work well (with the depreciated errors noted before).

Minimal example:

Matthews-MBP-5:getpapers matthew$ getpapers -q covid -o covid

gives

/Users/matthew/.nvm/v0.10.38/lib/node_modules/getpapers/lib/eupmc.js:43
    fs.readFile('eupmc_results.json', (err, data) => {
                                                   ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token >

Is it an issue with my installation?

Hmmm.... I am not a Node/getpapers expert. Does this happen with any query? Sometimes queries give zero results and give a failure. Suggest you post to the group as I think Tim knows how to fix things.
