req help, unexpected token error

[discoverlance-com]

Describe the bug
I installed the req command and tried it, had the following error.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the req cli with npm i -g req-cli
2. Create a .req directory with a sample.http file
   GET https://api.github.com/users/SiddharthShyniben
3. Run the command req run sample
4. Also run the command req help
5. See error

file:///home/user/.config/nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/lib/node_modules/req-cli/src/index.js:41
                const {version} = (await import('../package.json', {assert: {type: 'json'}})).default
                                                                 ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ','
    at ESMLoader.moduleStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:139:18)
    at ESMLoader.moduleProvider (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:236:14)
    at async link (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:67:21)

Expected behavior
A request should be sent with results on the github user's profile.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. ChromeOS]
• req: req version also gives the same error so cannot give detail here on the version of req in use

I get similar experience, using v1.0.2

file:///Users/user/Library/Application%20Support/fnm/node-versions/v16.15.0/ins
tallation/lib/node_modules/req-cli/src/parse.js:49
                                throw new Error(`Error on line ${line}: Expected request line`);

@lance1997 What is your node.js version? it looks like your version does not support import

@rikongha You have a different error: your request file has invalid syntax (you probably forgot the HTTP version at the end)

# Sample req file GET https://reqres.in/api/products/3 HTTP/1.1 here's what I've got in my file and node version is 16, I've tried 18 as well, same issue.

Very strange, cannot reproduce the issue. I'll look into this

Let me know what else you need.
