Error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token *"

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble in creating a custom visual.

I was developing a custom visual and was successful in doing so (Friday). But after accessing it again today and testing it, i got an error. 

I didn't even touch the code after I've got it to work.

This is the one that I've finished:

This is the error I've got TODAY:

Any thoughts?

It seems like some APIs that are installed are outdated, hence causing errors.

I used powerbi-visual-tools v3 in there.

Seems like downgrading to v2.6.0 removes the error or resolves it in a way.

I figured that with 3.x we need to include external dependencies wrapped in a seperate file and include them in the externalJS. Please check the migration guide.

This solved my issue, hope it helps.
