[beta] ES6: Export: One of Import's siblings - Tests not passing

Challenge export-one-of-imports-siblings has an issue. User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.76 Safari/537.36.

export const foo = "bar";
export const boo = 'far';

I’m unable to make the tests pass for this challenge, even though the code is correct.

The strange thing is that the tests seem to work when eval()ed in a normal browser console. However, they don’t work in the freeCodeCamp environment.

I initially assumed this was a regex error but since they work in the console, I’m not sure anymore.

Another thing worth noting is that these tests have the same problem as i pointed out in #12739 (comment)

While export is valid es.next syntax, it is currently unsupported by all browsers. The reason for this is that while the syntax has entered the spec, the actual importing of those files has not been defined yet.

In order to teach the syntax we will need to encode those instances of syntax into something that is currently valid javascript (probably a coded comment) and then test for the existence of that comment.

I am pretty sure this issue is caused by our transpilation of the code from ES6 to ES5. Since the code we’re running tests against doesn’t have the ES6 code, they can never pass for the regex-tests checking for ES6 syntax.
