Unexpected token ... with nyc 12.0.2, jasmine, and babel-plugin-istanbul

Expected Behavior

Tests are executed and coverage is reported.

Observed Behavior

An exception is thrown:

Bonus Points! Code (or Repository) that Reproduces Issue

I have a simple source file and a unit test, both written in ES6.

src:
  test.js

test:
  test.spec.js

Also, in package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.26.3",
    "babel-plugin-istanbul": "^4.1.6",
    "babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
    "jasmine": "^3.1.0",
    "nyc": "^12.0.2"
}

.babelrc:

{
  "presets": ["env"],
  "env": {
    "test": {
      "plugins": [
        "istanbul"
      ]
    }
  }
}

.nycrc (or in package.json):

{
    "require": [
        "babel-core/register"
    ],
    "sourceMap": false,
    "instrument": false,
    "cache": false
}

Executing the following line throws the exception:
NODE_ENV=test ./node_modules/.bin/nyc ./node_modules/.bin/jasmine test/test.spec.js

If I delete the .nycrc config and specify babel-reqiester in the command line the unit tests are executed and the coverage is shown correctly, however there are errors/warnings in the console.

> NODE_ENV=test ./node_modules/.bin/nyc --require babel-core/register ./node_modules/.bin/jasmine test/test.spec.js

Transformation error for /home/cabox/workspace/nyc-test/src/test.js ; return original code
Unexpected token ...

The issue affects 12.0.0+. The older versions (like 11.9.0) work well.

Forensic Information

Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Environment Information:

node --version
v4.4.0

npm --version
3.8.1

nyc 12.0.0 updated from babel 6 to babel 7, this drops support for node 4.x, node 6 is required for nyc 12 and up. Note babel-plugin-istanbul 4.1.6 still uses babel 6 but my intent is for 5.0.0 to use babel 7 as well.

See 19b7d21

I think this has been fixed in v13+. I'll leave this open for now to be confirmed

[coreyfarrell]

Closing this as nyc 12.0.0 dropped support for node.js 4, see the CHANGELOG.md for nyc@12.0.0.
