Registered Helpers not running.

[belackriv]

I can't seem to get registered helpers to run with the latest version. I'm pretty sure this has something to do the the precompile, since when I change hbs.js to this:

'use strict';

import Handlebars from 'handlebars';

const handlebarsRuntimePath = System.normalizeSync('handlebars/handlebars.runtime', __moduleName);

export function translate(load) {
  //var precompiled = Handlebars.precompile(load.source);
  //load.source = `module.exports = require('${handlebarsRuntimePath}').template(${precompiled});`;
  var templateSrc = load.source
    .replace(/'/g, '\\\'')
    .replace(/[\f]/g, '\\f')
    .replace(/[\b]/g, '\\b')
    .replace(/[\n]/g, '\\n')
    .replace(/[\t]/g, '\\t')
    .replace(/[\r]/g, '\\r')
    .replace(/[\u2028]/g, '\\u2028')
    .replace(/[\u2029]/g, '\\u2029');
  load.source = `module.exports = require('handlebars').compile('${templateSrc}');`;
}

they start working again. I don't know enough about bundling and handlebars to know how this will break things in the future though. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, will look into this!

Same problem here, registered helpers do not work in 1.2.1. Downgraded to 1.1 as workaround.

@belackriv @Schlaefer Remember that the plugin is looking at the runtime environment for the helpers, so make sure in your code you are using:

import Handlebars from 'handlebars/handlebars.runtime';
Handlebars.registerHelper(/* helper stuff */);

I've updated the README with this stuff. Thanks for all the help! Let me know if you still have issues.

[Schlaefer]

@davis That was the issue, thanks for pointing out.
