Usage with `@babel/register`

[talentlessguy]

Hello,

I'm trying to use @babel/register with tsm like this:

$ node -r tsm -r @babel/register node_modules/uvu/bin.js tests

and I get an error like this:

TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /home/v1rtl/Coding/x/tests/hooks/useWalletInfo.test.ts
    at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:371:5)
    at Object.file: (node:internal/modules/esm/get_format:72:15)

    at async Promise.all (index 0)
    at async ESMLoader.import (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:281:24)

This is my package.json:

{
  "name": "x",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "type": "module",
 "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.16.0",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.16.0",
    "@babel/preset-react": "^7.16.0",
    "@babel/preset-typescript": "^7.16.0",
    "@babel/register": "^7.16.0",
    "tsm": "^2.1.4",
    "typescript": "~4.4.4",
    "uvu": "^0.5.2"
  }
}

The register hook order matters; I think tsm will have to go second.

Even then, I'm not sure you'll find what you're looking for. These are competing tools

[talentlessguy]

this seems to have worked:

node --loader esbuild-node-loader -r @babel/register node_modules/uvu/bin.js tests

Cool, then you'd be able to do the same thing with tsm too then

$ node --loader tsm -r @babel/register node_modules/.bin/uvu.js ...

# same as 

$ tsm -r @babel/register node_modules/.bin/uvu.js ...
