 > @netweb Looks like Node 4.7.2 doesn't work for the 4.2 branch: https
 ://travis-ci.org/aaronjorbin/develop.wordpress/jobs/210162438. Neither
 does [https://travis-ci.org/ocean90/develop.wordpress/builds/210237363
 4.5.0] or [https://travis-
 ci.org/ocean90/develop.wordpress/builds/210238841 6.9.1]. But [https
 ://travis-ci.org/ocean90/develop.wordpress/builds/210240331 0.12.18]
 works.

 Cool, let's go with 0.12.x then

 > Looking at https://travis-ci.org/aaronjorbin/develop.wordpress/branches,
 all the failed builds seem to be unrelated to the node version so I think
 we can stick with the node version which Travis is currently using.

 Up until these recent commits being merged we weren't able to determine if
 the builds were passing or failing as the jobs were reporting `errrored`
 by Travis before PHPUnit or the JS Grunt tasks could be run, everything
 would error before any testing would commence.

 The NodeJS versions I chose were an attempt to mimic the timeline of
 core's releases to the timeline of the NodeJS releases aiming for some
 glimmer of hope of compatibility with the branches `package.json` files
 /shrug

 I'm travelling for the remainder of today, I can take a look at updating a
 patch and testing tomorrow if no one beats me to it
