SyntaxError: Unexpected token when running selenium-javascript tests

Question

I've been doing selenium with Javafor years. However, now I'm trying to write Selenium scripts using javascript. I used following guide to learn JavaScript with Selenium.

Guide

However, when I tried npm install [email protected] in my command prompt, following error displays.

npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'E:\Proffessional\FMClarity\Selenium\package.json'
npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'E:\Proffessional\FMClarity\Selenium\package.json'
npm WARN Selenium No description
npm WARN Selenium No repository field.
npm WARN Selenium No README data
npm WARN Selenium No license field.

+ [email protected]
added 30 packages from 69 contributors and audited 34 packages in 8.086s
found 0 vulnerabilities

And then I tried following simple script,

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
                           withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.firefox() 
                            .build();

driver.get('https://github.com/i18next/i18next-parser/issues/86');

I tried run this script using node sample.js. But following error shows,

SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
    at createScript (vm.js:80:10)
    at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:139:10)
    at Module._compile (module.js:616:28)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:565:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:693:10)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:191:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:612:3

This might not be a very good question. However, even if I have years of experience in Java, I'm new to JavaScript.

Any kind of help may be appreciated Thanks in advance. :)

Seems you are missing the closing ) in the line:

var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
               withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.firefox() 
                .build();

Change it to:

var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
               withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.firefox()) 
                .build();
