Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions. In /dir...

[mylastore]

Using node 10.11.0
Gulp 4
I get this error Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions. In /dir...

I have not made any changes to NPM or gulp and getting this on several projects that I run Gulp 4 and gulp-babel.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Essentially what this means is that one of your presets isn't compatible with Babel 7. I'd look through and if there are any babel- presets in the 6.x range, you'll want to update them to @babel/ presets in the 7.x range.

but I have not changed anything on like 4 different local apps and suddenly all of them are getting that error when I gulped. They had been working and nothing has also at work I have the same setup.

[loganfsmyth]

Did you intend to use Babel 7? That error implies that you're using Babel 7, so if you didn't upgrade on purpose, something in your configuration must have changed somewhere. It is hard to say more without knowing your dependencies and build steps though.

Nothing has changed in the project is weird here at home like I said 4 different apps and at work one, first I got this at work today, and when I get home I gulp on a similar setup and same error. Anyways let take a look at what you are saying regarding babel version.

I have this

    "gulp-babel": "^8.0.0",
    "@babel/core": "^7.0.0-beta.46",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.0.0-beta.46",
    "babel-loader": "8.0.0-beta.0",
    "babel-plugin-transform-es2015-template-literals": "^6.22.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",
    "gulp": "^4.0.0",

[loganfsmyth]

That configuration is definitely not right.

    "babel-plugin-transform-es2015-template-literals": "^6.22.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",

are both Babel 6, so they definitely won't work with gulp-babel@8.x or babel-loader@8.x.

What is your Babel config? It'd either be a .babelrc or in your Gulp config as arguments for gulp-babel / babel-loader.

"es2015"

[loganfsmyth]

es2015 is for Babel 6. If you are using Babel 7, you should use { presets: ["@babel/preset-env"] } in your config.

Make sure you are not using both v7 and v6 branch og babel. The "@babel/core" is the 7x branch and the "babel/core" is the 6x branch, you should not have both installed at once!

I have the same question, how did you solve it ?

As @loganfsmyth said, if you are using Babel core v7 use { presets: ["@babel/preset-env"] } in your gulpfile.js config, otherwise use { presets: ['es2015'] } if you're using Babel core v6
