There’s a closed issue mentioning something like this: https://github.com/lingui/js-lingui/issues/163

The difference is that I actually updated to 2.0.4 from 2.0.0 and got this error (while the author of issue#163 had an opposite situation - he was getting this on 2.0.2 and it was “fixed” and updated to 2.0.4)

Any ideas how to fix that?

@adamgruber Absolutely. I’m planning releasing new version using Babel 6 with new major version using Babel 7 (even in beta). I’m just fixing some Babel-related issues, so once it’s ready, I’m gonna publish it.
