babel-watch stuck on >>> RESTARTING <<<

I have a task in my package.json which does the following:

scripts: {
  "watch": "babel-watch tests/run-jasmine.js --presets es2015 --watch",
}

This used to work, but nowadays (in any 2.0.x version), the task stalls on >>> RESTARTING <<<. No significant cpu usage as far as I can tell. The only major change we did to our project recently was upgrade from Node 4.5 to Node 6.9/6.10, the latest LTS versions.

@zaaack When will there be a fix pushed to the repo? The current version (2.0.7 on npmjs) still hangs on >>> RESTARTING <<< when an error occurs.

For now the fix above will help, but editing your modules feels kinda wrong.

You need to upgrade your preset versions too.

Could you try this with the latest version (7.2.0) @prasanna3000 https://github.com/prasanna3000 ?

My babel-watch version is really old with 2.0.7 : ) I tried upgrading it to 7.2.0, to get the following output

throw new Error(Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions. In ${filepath}); ^

I think it is because I changed only babel version…but not upgraded the code according to it. And to my surprise, the restart issue is encountered some times and at other times it is working as usual… I do not have much experience in web development. Any solution to fix this or possible reasons behind facing it is very much appreciated
