babel-node fails to require jsx file in node_modules

I know babel-node ignores node_modules by default, so I ran it three different ways to override it, all failed:

  1. ran babel-node app.js with .babelrc:

    {
  "presets": ["es2015", "react"],
  "only": [
    "app",
    "node_modules/react-components"
  ]
}

    result: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < for the required jsx node module

  2. ran babel-node app.js with .babelrc:

    {
  "presets": ["es2015", "react"],
  "ignore": "node_modules\/(?!react-components)"
}

    result: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < for the require jsx node module

  3. ran babel-node ./bin/www --ignore '/node_modules/(?!react-components) with .babelrc:

    {
  "presets": ["es2015", "react"]
}

    result:

    [project]/node_modules/babel-preset-react/node_modules/babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx/lib/index.js:12
    var visitor = require("babel-helper-builder-react-jsx")({
                                                           ^

TypeError: object is not a function

Using the register hook with the ignore option worked correctly.

ran node app.js with this code in the beginning of app.js

require('babel-core/register')({
    ignore: /node_modules\/(?!react-components)/
});

Even though this works, I still want to know why my implementations with babel-node does not work. Thanks.

This is a known bug in babel, where it ignores only and ignore.

The relevant bug is T6726, which has been fixed in babel 6.14.0.
