(I revised this questions to be more informative at User idleberg's suggestion)

I'm using Atom editor. And I'm learning how to create package. I use atom's documentation and tutorial to learn how to customize the Atom. I used the 'wordcount' tutorial. (https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/package-word-count/).

I follow everything up to right before Basic Debugging section. I get the Unexpected token error. I couldn't figure out how to solve it. I did research on the net and all.

I just need to get that solved before I moved on to next section (Basic Debugging section.)

Here are info about my setup and error. Any help would be appreciated.

Atom: 1.32.1 x64

Electron: 2.0.9

OS: Mac OS X 10.14

Thrown From: zenkbarieswordcount package 0.0.0

This looks like a simple syntax error. Without knowing the logic of your code, consider the following. You either need to move setCount() inside your class, or use the correct syntax to declare a function.

Example:

function setCount() {

  // your code

}

or, if you prefer using ES6 syntax, use an arrow function

setCount() => {

  // your code

}
