Description

We’ve recently started getting an error with aliasify and the file plugin when building with a --browserify workflow.

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
SyntaxError: 'return' outside of function (31:4) (while aliasify was processing /projects/plugins/cordova-plugin-file/www/requestFileSystem.js) while parsing file: /project/plugins/cordova-plugin-file/www/requestFileSystem.js

This started when the File plugin v4.0.0 was released. It's caused by a return statement outside of a function: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/blob/77c63ef181313eba51652e1026cc730fc79ab9f2/www/requestFileSystem.js#L31
