os-locale new update is not compatible for old loopback version

[louiepiol]

Upon running loopback the system gives an error:

loopback version: 3.0.0

async function getLocales() {
      ^^^^^^^^

Which Node version do you have?

I unpublished the versions.

[louiepiol]

Node version: v6.115
NPM version: 3.10.10

tl;dr: update your node version or use explicit loopback reference(without "^" for not to use latest os-locale package)

looks as if loopback use os-locale, and latest looback minor version use latest os-locale, and this package have a breaking change and now use node >= 8.

ps: async, await, template string, etc is enable only in node >= 7.6

Faced the same issue. Having explicit loopback dependencies did not help:

    "loopback": "3.0.0",
    "loopback-boot": "2.6.5",
    "loopback-common-errors": "0.0.4",
    "loopback-component-explorer": "2.4.0",
    "loopback-component-passport": "3.4.1",
    "loopback-component-storage-gridfs": "1.1.1",
    "loopback-connector-mongodb": "3.3.1",
    "loopback-ds-timestamp-mixin": "3.4.1",
