babelrc seems to be ignored

[alex3683]

To prevent from trying to compile *.js files, I added a .babelrc file with the following contents:

{
   "only": [ "*.es6" ]
}

This seems to be ignored, as I still get the error message "Transpiled file would overwrite source file. Aborted!" when editing a *.js file (in my case the Gruntfile.js).
In my setup I want all *.es6 files to be compiled to *.js files located next to their according source file.

I had a look at your source code at differently tagged versions and I saw, that reading the babelrc file was dropped starting with version 0.8.0. How is it supposed to work now?

.babelrc files aren't ignored. babel-core still reads them as you would expect. The internal scanner was dropped in v0.8.0 for other reasons.

The example you gave above is working - the .babelrc file is read and no transpile is taking place but I'm not responding correctly. This is a bug and I will fix now.

There is an easier way to do what you want. just turn on the Disable When No Babelrc In Path option in the language-babel settings. You don't need any .babelrc file at all then.

Ah, okay. Seems I just don't know enough about babel-core :-) Thanks for finding and fixing the real issue.

The Disable When No Babelrc In Path option is not really suitable in my case, as some es6 and plain js sources are mixed within my project (one can argue, whether this is a good idea or not, but that's the way it is ;-))

Hope that works.

Indeed, it does. Thanks!
