Webpack with Babel 6 causes errors because of .babelrc files

[josvos]

Using webpack (with babel-loader) causes errors like "Using removed Babel 5 option". Removing or renaming all (5) .babelrc files in the node_modules/redux-devtools-log-monitor tree solves this problem.

See the solution. If for some reason, you need babel to process node_modules, better to create PRs to those dependencies as we did here.

OK, thanks, this works, I wasn't realizing that my node_modules was processed by Babel. Still, should these .babelrc files (being incompatible with Babel6 AFAICS) be there? They are the only .babelrc files in my whole node_modules tree...

Recent versions of redux-devtools-log-monitor do not include .babelrc in npm package.

Also you definitely shouldn’t be transpiling third-party modules with Babel. All kinds of stuff can break.
