TypeError: Cannot read property 'canCompile' of undefined

Hey there, tried babelify and it didn’t work. Installed according to the readme instructions but something breaks, I have no idea why.

Thanks bro, my issue was install outdated packages that Typescipt Gulp Tutorial suggest to install. At the end, i was working with babelify@8, and babel ^7.5.5, and they aren’t compatible. So i’ve installed babelify@10 and everything worked well.

@geanfrancovolpe thank you so much for the solution! I was messing around from an hour already and nothing was working then I’ve updated to babelify@10 as you said and it worked! Cheers 😄
