@sguptatw Which version of npm and nodejs are you using?

[sswaroopgupta]

@nehashri Node version 6.3. This is lower than the expected node version. Can the messaging be better than inspector error?

[nehashri]

@sguptatw That may be hard, as some dependencies have failed to install because of lower node version. Checking for such dependencies before they are used may not be the best idea. Instead we could check for the version before starting the runner itself (runner should not start if node version is not satisfied). Not sure how helpful this would be though
