ava: SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Question

So ava comes with build-in ES2015 support, which works fine for my actual test files. However, when I do

import {newUser, createUser, login} from \'./helpers         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately standard solution didn't work for my case. Here is my solution which worked for ava + quasar + vue project

.babelrc

{
  "presets": [
    "es2017",
    "@ava/stage-4",
    "stage-3"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "transform-runtime"
  ]
}

package.json

"ava": {
  "require": [
    "babel-register"
  ],
  "babel": "inherit"
},
"scripts": {
  "ava": "NODE_ENV=test ava",
  "test": "ava",
  "test:watch": "ava --watch --verbose"
}

install modules

yarn add babel-register babel-preset-es2017 @ava/babel-preset-stage-4 babel-plugin-transform-runtime babel-preset-stage-3 --dev
