Unable to find a browserify-shim config section

[gimre]

Hey, I'm using your plugin and it seems to be complaining about not being able to find a definition for babel/external-helpers. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Error: Unable to find a browserify-shim conig section in the package.json for babel/external-helpers while parsing file: babel/external-helpers

Thanks for making this!

Hi

Sorry for not being able to respond, Ive been in a middle of a move for the last couple weeks and am just settling down. Are you still having issues? I can look into it once my pc is setup.

Hey,

No problem, thanks for replying! Yes, same issue, not sure what I am misconfiguring :(

Would you cp your shim and problematic bundler code?

I just tried to use this package and got the same error. This is caused by BabelifyExternalHelpers.defaults in source/index.js#L22. It eventually tries to require("babel/external-helpers"), which does not exist. I assume this is why browserify-shim is complaining. I changed this to name: 'babel-helpers', and the error went away. I'm not sure if this is the correct solution, but it seems to work.

interesting. Ill take a look at it tonight.

I've just tried this module and getting the same problem. Did you get anywhere?

I honestly haven't looked at this issue in a while. Although i think that you should try transform-runtime which is officially supported by babel. Please let me know if that plugin does the job, if so i think i will depreciate this transform. If it doesn't work, I have a v2 refactor that i can release.

I gave transform-runtime a go and it did the job (our output file ended up larger, but that's another matter). So I think you could start pointing everyone in that direction.
