Requires Babel “7.0.0-0” but was loaded with “6.26.3”

Bug Report

Current Behavior Keep getting this and I’ve tried a bunch of solutions around the forum. This is what I’m getting:

error: bundling failed: Error: Requires Babel "^7.0.0-0", but was loaded with "6.26.3". 
If you are sure you have a compatible version of @babel/core, it is likely that something in your build process is loading the wrong version. 
Inspect the stack trace of this error to look for the first entry that doesn't mention "@babel/core" or "babel-core" to see what is calling Babel. (While processing preset: "C:\Users\Admin-ESS\Absent\node_modules\@babel\preset-env\lib\index.js")

And the problem is I’m not sure what am I suppose to look for here. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 😃

Input Code This is what my package.json look like atm. not sure if theres any package there that accidentally rely on babel 6…

    ]
  }
}

Expected behavior/code For it to give beginner-friendly pointer to what is there to look for specifically

Babel Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command) babelrc looks like this right now:

{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env","@babel/preset-react"],
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": [
        "transform-react-jsx-source"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Environment

• Node/npm version: Node v9.11.1/npm 5.8.0
• OS: Windows 10

@rayj10 I think you need to add babel-core: ^7.0.0-bridge.0

Try this:

npm install --save-dev "babel-core@^7.0.0-bridge.0"

[ruslanxdev]

@johnhunter try rewrite .babelrc to babel.config.js.
