why esprima works fine in online browser demo, but failed locally

Question

When I try to parse a snippet of code with the following script, it failed (using [email protected]). However it works fine in the esprima online browser demo, shown in the screenshot below.

var esprima = require('esprima');
var fs = require('fs');

const raw_string = String.raw`export { AppCache , addOrReplaceCacheableGroup , findCacheableGroup , CacheTimeoutData } from 's' ; export { AppCacheAction , AppCacheActionType , CacheGroupAction , AddToCacheAction } from 's' ; export { cacheGroup , addToCache } from 's' ; export { appCacheReducer } from 's' ;`;

ast_string = JSON.stringify(esprima.parseScript(raw_string, { range: true }), null, 2);
fs.writeFile('./ast_data/test.json', ast_string, () => {});

The output error message is as follows:

/usr/lib/nodejs/esprima/dist/error-handler.js:17
            throw error;
            ^

I solved my problem by changing esprima.parseScript to esprima.parseModule
