serverless-component won't deploy

[Harrisonkamau]

The Nextjs's recommended serverless structure and the serverless-next NPM package is failing with a syntax error every time.

Versions:
Next.js -v 9.4.4
Node.js -v 8.11.2

Here's the error I get trying to run: serverless which intends to deploy the serverless API endpoints to AWS.

Here's my test serverless.yml file:

Node 8 doesn't know the catch syntax without parenthesis. I guess that library requires Node 10 to run.

Thank you @illuminist for your quick response.

I tried even node -v 10.16.0

@illuminist I have resolved by using Node -v 12.18.2. Thank you for your help again
