Files outside src/ aren't compiled with Babel

[debugpoint136]

Problem: Using ES6 feature like template string or fat arrow function notation, in any helper JS functions to fetch data and pass it to React components, npm start works fine but npm run build fails

Error:-

static/js/main.edbb179d.js from UglifyJs
SyntaxError: Unexpected token: operator (>) [./api/consensus_view-api.js:65,0]

static/js/main.d10c594a.js from UglifyJs
SyntaxError: Unexpected character '`' [./api/consensus_view-api.js:25,0]

node - 6.10.0
npm - 3.10.10
OS - MacOS El Capitan
react-scripts: 0.9.3

Also, Went through #1194 thread. NODE_PATH is not set to anything

C+P:
Looks like you're trying to import a JavaScript file from outside src/; this is not supported. The file will not be compiled.

This behavior will most likely be disallowed in 0.10.

Oh wow! Thanks for catching that. I moved that folder to src and it compiles successfully!

I will reopen so that we don't forget to completely forbid importing them somehow.

We have this old issue too: #1234

[gaearon]

Oh okay.

[nikoloza]

guys, any workaround for now?

[gaearon]

Workaround for what exactly? Files outside src are intentionally not compiled. Future behavior will likely be forbidding imports from outside of src or node_modules.

Thanks for quick reply @gaearon
Currently node_modules is also not reachable.
