We received a bug report with an error message like this:
I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, but I believe there might be some sort of incompatible confluence with the way we are building this package and the way that @babel/runtime is being installed in the repo where this error is appearing.
Since babel-plugin-transform-runtime is used primarily to reduce bundle sizes, and since bundle sizes are not very important in this particular case, I think we can simplify things and avoid these issues by building this package without the runtime transform. This also allows us to drop the dependency on @babel/runtime, which is a nice win.
I ran the build before and after this change, and here's the diff for
./register.js
:Looking at this file, it seems that there may be some more opportunities for improvement, e.g. getting rid of regenerator.
