• Extensions: none

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create code with this error

let transaction = {
        type: "record change",
        record_id: this.id,

        new_value: new_value,
        new_magic_code = makeid(),

        old_value = this.current_value,
        old_magic_code = this.current_magic_code,

        old_state = this.state,
        new_state = this.master?"confirmed" : "pending"
    }

2. run dubuger
   exception will only show the line doing the require

Exception has occurred: SyntaxError
SyntaxError: Invalid shorthand property initializer
at createScript (vm.js:80:10)
at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:139:10)
at Module._compile (module.js:599:28)

at Function.Module._load (module.js:489:3)

at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
at Object. (c:\Users\John\Documents\GitHub\jjg_distributed_db\test\test_1_entity.js:6:16)

3. So must leave Visual Code Studio and run node directly to see the line at fault

I confirmed that we do not get back any semantic of syntax errors in this case unless you enable checkJs. Not sure if this is by-design so as not to interfere with transpiled js code
