How to make es6 import/export work?

[Евгений Татарин]

Hello all,

I want to import into my test file utility module, which is written in ES6 and exports several things I need.  So what I do is

import { module } from 'file'

but it throws the 'SyntaxError: Unexpected token import' error.

I tried to:
1. add require('babel-core/register') to the top of the nightwatch.conf.js

2. add require('babel-register')() to the top of the nightwatch.conf.js
3. npm i babel-plugin-add-module-exports --save-dev ,  and add "add-module-exports" plugin to the .babelrc config file

4. npm i babel-preset-es2015 --save-dev , and add es2015 preset to the .babelrc config file
5. add require('babel-core')

require('babel-loader')

require('babel-plugin-add-module-exports')

require('babel-polyfill')

require('babel-preset-stage-2')

require('babel-preset-es2015')
to the top of the nightwatch.conf.js

All this didn't help. What should I do to make import/export works?

Thanks in advance,
Evgeniy

Appears I was very close, the one thing missed from my attention:

I had 

    "presets": [
        ["es2015", { "modules": false }]
      ],

and { "modules": false } was the blocking thing. So, to make import/export works  you need:

1 At the top of nightwatch.config

   

require('babel-register')() // or require('babel-core/register')

2 .babelrc should contain

 

   {
      "presets": ["es2015"],
      "plugins": [
        "add-module-exports",
      ]
    }

3 install babel

npm i babel-plugin-add-module-exports babel-preset-es2015 --save-dev
