Error when compiling with babel-webpack

HI @everyone

I’m getting some weird output after transpiled the library in webpack with babel.

Specifically, an Unexpected token: punc (:) error on .[/~/debug/node.js:122,0]

Point is, it’s transpiling lines like:

122:         process.env.DEBUG = namespaces;

into:

122:         {"NODE_ENV":"production"}.DEBUG = namespaces;

Why would it transpile process.env into that object?

This workaround worked for us using the DefinePlugin.

new webpack.DefinePlugin({
    'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
}),

Closing, since this is an issue with your webpack configuration, not with debug itself.
