Can't run mocha tests

I have some nodejs apps in some folder, and it seems i cannot run any mocha test, when i run npm test or mocha test i get this:

/home/jmartinez/uni/mis_practicas/p5-t1-egg-0-alu0100921038/node_modules/mocha/lib/cli/run-helpers.js:84
exports.handleRequires = async (requires = []) =>
                               ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token (
    at createScript (vm.js:56:10)
    at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:97:10)
    at Module._compile (module.js:549:28)

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:453:12)

    at Module.require (module.js:504:17)

I tried reinstalling mocha again but nothing, the error persists, and i don't know how to fix it, i was just installing like everybody else. This errors happens across every nodejs app so its seems like a installation problem, but reinstalling didnt solve it.

I'm using node version v6.17.1

Well, seems like the version 6 for nodejs is quite old. I upgraded to the 12 and now its working.
