Babel.transform fails when localStorage.debug = '*'

[HQidea]

maybe should use browser field in package.json instead of main when require('debug'), but I am not sure whether it's a webpack bug

Do you get an error message?

[HQidea]

yes

it also appears in https://babeljs.io/repl/

@HQidea - Could you please provide instructions on how to replicate the issue on https://babeljs.io/repl/? I'm having trouble working out exactly where you're doing localStorage.debug = '*'. You can copy and paste the URL to the REPL, as all the state is in the URL.

@Daniel15

1. open https://babeljs.io/repl/
2. open console and set localStorage.debug = '*'
3. reload https://babeljs.io/repl/
4. all transforms fail

[HQidea]

@Daniel15 this issue is still there, the bundle file remains using Node.js version of visionmedia-debug

I haven't released a new version of babel-standalone yet. I'll do so once a new Babel version comes out.
