How to run build with babel-node instead of node

#1

this is my build

{
  "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/babel-node", "$file"],
  "selector": "source.js"
}

this is my test.js file

function whatup(){
	let a = 1
	return a
}
console.log('hello')

When I run build, I got this error in the sublime console

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@babel/core/lib/config/config-descriptors.js:178
    throw new Error(`Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions. In ${filepath}`);

It DID being executed with /usr/local/bin/babel-node as shown in the error log.

[cmd: ['/usr/local/bin/babel-node', '/Users/craigcosmo/Dropbox/Code/js-play/just.js']]

I just installed @babel/node and using your test script and build command. It ran successfully.

babel-preset-es2015 is a quite old and deprecated preset while you are using @babel which is the latest core. People are using @babel/preset-env nowadays. I guess the problem is your babel env setup. There is nothing to do with Sublime Text.
