Guys, I know this is a very old version but I would assume such old issue wouldn't show up again.
I am trying to install node.js 6.14 on a Ubuntu Server 18.04. Yes, I know it's a very old version of node.js, but the software I was asked to install relies on node.js 6.x :(
When I run 'make test' I get:
[ PASSED ] 38 tests.

Any tips on how to solve this?
Thanks for your time and attention

Are you building from the src tarball? IIRC we exclude
tools/eslintfrom that (it's there in the git tree).On later versions of Node.js we added code to the relevant tests to skip them if
tools/eslintwas missing (i.e. building from the src tarball): #20372This hasn't been backported to
6.x(and would not now as6.xis in maintenance).yucatan commentedon Nov 23, 2018
Yes, I am buidling from the 6.14 tarball. I just don't get it. It needs eslint to proper test, but I can't build/install eslint if I don't have node/npm installed. I am lost on how to fix this :(

@yucatan You could try building from the source code archives that GitHub creates (as opposed to the ones our release scripts build) from https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases/tag/v6.14.4 (e.g. https://github.com/nodejs/node/archive/v6.14.4.tar.gz).

Another thing you can do to work around is remove line 127 (
$(MAKE) lint) from the Makefile.Or you can simply accept that the tests passed since linting is the last thing the tests do in that version of the Makefile.

I'm going to close this as we're not going to go back and change the source tarball for that release. But if you continue to have questions/issues around this, feel free to keep commenting.
