Babelify/Babel-Deps upgrade to v7

[jeffscottward]

• Operating System: MacOS 10.13.6
• Cypress Version: "cypress": "^3.0.2"
• Browser Version: N/A

Is this a Feature or Bug?

"Feature" (Bug: dependency is 2 years out of date)

Current behavior:

Any use of newer javascript language features, that have come to be an expectation for frontend developers, like the spread operator ( ... ) or Async/Await, are unavailable and the dev's tests will fail.

For our use:
Next.js, is fast becoming the standard of modern JS development frameworks, and it uses Babel 7.

Desired behavior:

For cypress to be able to run our tests that make fair assumptions about language feature support in 2018.

How to reproduce:

Run any test in cypress with some of the newer language features like ... and async/await

Additional Info (images, stack traces, etc)

Have you tried https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-webpack-preprocessor by chance?

Also @chrisbreiding what are the chances we can get this upgraded? We've noticed that async/await does not work with the current version.

And we can set up renovate app to keep updating dependencies

I agree we should update the deps, but which language features gets transpiled is an orthogonal concern. You can configure this preprocessor to transpile whichever language features you need with the 'file:preprocessor' plugin event as detailed in the readme.
