SyntaxError: Unexpected token ♀ about npm-windows-upgrade HOT 3 CLOSED

Het, thanks for reporting! I'm a little bit baffled - I'm not entirely sure what is going on. To help you to upgrade (and me to understand what happened here), can you try the following two things:

1. Run npm view npm versions --json. That's what's failing here, and I'd love to know why - that being said, we don't really need it.
2. So if nothing else fails miserably, this should work npm-windows-upgrade --version:3.1.0

from npm-windows-upgrade.

Thanks for the response.

1. It gives a long array of versions going from "1.1.25" to "3.1.2" (including "3.1.0")
2. That command gives the same error as well.

I put a console.log(stdout) at line 71 and its output has that character ♀ at the beginning for some reason (the rest of the output the fine, i.e. the array of versions). I have no idea why though...

My node is v0.12 and I also have iojs installed which is v2.3. I've tested with both separately and in different test scripts and they both produce that strange character for exec's stdout.

I apologize in advance if this is an issue at my end. I've asked a question on SO regarding the same.

...I'm so confused. I really wish I could help you, but I have no idea why that's happening.

To help you: The upgrader is essentially just a small ps1 script that you can also run manually. If you open C:\...\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm-windows-upgrade\powershell, you can run the upgrade-npm.ps1 script directly, bypassing Node. Be warned though, that ♀ character isn't giving me great confidence ;)
