Babel fails if the js file destination is not on a child directory, and triggers the Module build failed: Error: Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory ... error.

Steps To Reproduce:

Still having this issue on version 1.2.2.

I have the following:

mix.js('./js/app.js', './js/app.js');

and inside I do:

import "phoenix_html"

and as a result I get the following error:

Module build failed: Error: Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory "../deps/phoenix_html/priv/static"

(I have edited the path in the error to be relative instead of static).

EDIT: @ruchern .scripts doesnt work. It removes the error from the terminal and puts it in the web console.
