SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier Node.js Selenium

Question

So i have this little script:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('firefox').build();
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/?hl=lt&gl=LT');
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("load-more-text']"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element);

it supposed to open firefox go to youtube and scroll to bottom of the screen where the load more button is. But it throws syntax error.

You should try to change this line

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.class("load-more=text']"));

as

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("load-more-text"));

because class name load-more=text'] more likely to be load-more-text and AFAIK there is no By.class, but By.className

if you made copy/paste of this line from net, try to retype it manually as sometimes it contains some hidden characters
