Hi Ayushya,

The nullish coalescing assignment operator (??=) was introduced in Node.js version 15.0.0. Therefore, the minimum Node.js version required to use the ??= operator is Node.js 15 or a later version. If you are using an earlier version of Node.js, you will encounter a syntax error when attempting to use the ??= operator.

Could you confirm you’re specifying a new enough Node version: https://render.com/docs/node-version

Regards,

Matt
