Unexpected token - loadPreLoadFiles - AdonisJS

Question

After creating an AdonisJS app, I get following error message when trying to run:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '...'


1 anonymous
  C:\Users\berez\adonisjs-stripe\node_modules\@adonisjs\ignitor\src\Ignitor\index.js:376

2 Ignitor._loadPreLoadFiles
  C:\Users\berez\adonisjs-stripe\node_modules\@adonisjs\ignitor\src\Ignitor\index.js:368

Application crashed, make sure to kill all related running process, fix the issue and re-run the app

Checked the mentioned index.js file (unedited), and following can be found at the referenced lines:

/**
* Load all the files that are supposed to be preloaded
*
* @method _loadPreLoadFiles
*
* @return {void}
*
* @private
*/
_loadPreLoadFiles () {
this._callHooks('before', 'preloading')
debug('preloading files %j', this._preLoadFiles)
debug('optional set %j', this._optionals)
this._preLoadFiles.forEach((file) => {
const filePath = path.isAbsolute(file) ? file : path.join(this._appRoot, file)
/**
* Require file when it's not optional or when optional
* file exists
*/
if (!this._isOptional(file) || this._fileExists(filePath)) {
require(filePath)
}
})
this._callHooks('after', 'preloading')
}

line 376: require(filePath)

line 368: this._preLoadFiles.forEach((file) => {

Any idea what can be the issue?
