Description

@Trott
  • Version: 6.2.2
  • Platform: OS X
  • Subsystem: repl

Use of (currently unsupported) exponentiation operator should throw SyntaxError rather than putting the user into multiline mode.

Expected:

$ node
> 2 ** 3
SyntaxError: Unexpected token *

Actual:

$ node
> 2 ** 3
... 
... 
... 
...
