Getting browserify error - Unexpected token (4:13) while parsing file: index.jsx

[explorer2309]

After generating the project and running npm start, I ran into this error

[06:33:12] Browserify Error { [SyntaxError: C:/projects/react/gen-flux-demo/src/js/index.jsx: Unexpected token (4:13) while parsing file: C:\projects\react\gen-flux-demo\src\js\index.jsx]

I am getting same error on Linux as well

Any ideas?

Hello, Firstly, thanks for this really good generator!

So, I have the same issue when I try to install the npm package superagent. It is the normal behavior?

Kind regards.

i get the same issue on OS X.

i was able to follow some instructions here: https://github.com/babel/babelify/issues/126

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-es2015
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-react

then edit .babelrc

{
  "presets": ["es2015", "react"]
}

Works for me too. Thanks @christopherslee

Thanks @christopherslee and friends! I just published 0.4.6 which should include this change. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Hi all, I have come across this when I was trying to do something on react with es6. Even I followed the same babel config

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "es2015"
    ],
    "react"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "react-hot-loader/babel"
  ]
}

However though It didn't work for me. It shows that there is an unexpected token which I found out to be "="
