Description
Context: I tried to start working on #2286, following Contribution guideline. I have only minimal experience with npm/node but I am sure that my installation meets the recommended "node.js v6.x" version.
Related to #1630.
npm start (and specifically npm run start-test_dashboard) fails.
In short the regular expression in the following line:
date.toString().match(/\(([A-Za-z\s\u4E00-\u9FCC].*)\)/)[1] // fix Chinese datetime string error. #1630
fails on 2018-01-27T15:15:48.956Z which is represented as Sat Jan 27 2018 14:15:48 GMT-0100 (-01) and after matching returns null.
