Moment format string not recognized

I am trying the absolute most basic moment test and it's not working at all.

I did the following:

npm install moment

then in an app.js I did the following:

var moment = require('moment');
var testDate = new Date();
console.log(moment(testDate).format('yyyy'));

Which should print a 4 digit year. Instead it prints

yyyy

on the console. why is it not formatting?

Use YYYY instead of yyyy.

According to the moment format docs the valid formats for year are YY (example output "15") and YYYY (example output "2015").

Characters that are not recognised as format tokens are included as literals.
