Using ^0.6.0-beta.2 throws error: regeneratorRuntime is not defined

[monsteronfire]

Hello :)

The first app I generated with the --web-component flag was using @glimmer/application-pipeline": "^0.5.2", and the use of async didn't cause any problems at all.

But I realised that the app I generated today (also using the --web-component flag) uses @glimmer/application-pipeline": "^0.6.0-beta.2", and async no longer works. It throws the following error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined

I'm not sure if this is the right place to file this issue, but as far as I can tell, the only change was the version of @glimmer/application-pipeline.

We changed things around a bit and now (as of 0.6.x) we emit ES5 code even for web component builds. This means async / await is being transpiled to use regenerator runtime.

Unfortunately, at this time, there is no simple way of adding back the babel polyfills (or just regenerator runtime). I will try to get this fixed today.

Alright. I'll use ^0.5.2 to continue tinkering. :)

Thanks for the quick reply, @rwjblue. I'm enjoying exploring glimmer so far. The team's doing a great job! 💯
