Requiring external module babel-register

[dadatawajue]

I realize this issue has been reported and closed before #726 and 862 but none of the solutions in listed there has worked for me

The error:

$ gulp serve
Requiring external module babel-register
/dadada/gulpfile.babel.js:27
import path from 'path';
^^^^^^

Some info about my setup (running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Web Starter Kit 0.6.3):

$ gulp -v

$ node -v

I've tried to reinstall gulp, tried $ npm cache clean && npm install, tried downgrading gulp to 3.9.0

I just tried with the master branch, which works but get some error (and I assume it would be better to use v0.6.3):

@dadatawajue I have the same problem. What steps did you follow to download that branch from the repo? I didn't see anyone pointing to that version :-/

Thanks!

Issue linked:
#878

I am using ubuntu 14.04. And i am using nvm managing the nodejs.

Runing gulp -v getting the error below

[20:54:47] Failed to load external module babel/register
[20:54:47] CLI version 3.9.0
[20:54:47] Local version 3.9.1

And the issue was solved by the steps below:

sudo rm -r /usr/lib/node_modules/
sudo rm /usr/bin/gulp
npm cache clear
npm uninstall gulp-cli -g
npm uninstall gulp -g
npm install gulp-cli -g

Hope it will be helped for whom that using nvm.

@amazingSurge the command sudo rm -r /usr/lib/node_modules/ will exclude npm if you have installed it via package manager with nodejs.

Adding .babelrc file may help

{
  "presets": [
    "es2015"
  ]
}

@quangthien27 Thanks, it's working for me!

Adding .babelrc file may help

[cuonghuynh]

@quangthien27 Thanks, another way that you can add to package.json
"babel": {
"presets": [
"es2015"
]
}
