root-mode for babel-node

[theprobugmaker]

I'm using Babel 7 and I have a monorepo with lerna and yarn workspaces, I could configure the script like this: babel src --root-mode upward --out-dir dist --delete-dir-on-start and it works really nice, however I want to use nodemon with babel-node but I noticed that I can't specify --root-mode for babel-node, what can I do to solve that?

nodemon --legacy-watch --exec babel-node -- src/index

It should work in @babel/node 7.2.0 (#9078)

[theprobugmaker]

I'm using 7.2.0 but still not working.
babel-node --root-mode upward src/index.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:605
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\ZD\Desktop\acme\packages\server\upward'

What does npx nls why @babel/cli say? Maybe for some reason it is loading an older version.

[theprobugmaker]

Who required @babel/cli:
acme > @babel/cli@^7.2.0

When I run babel-node -- src/index.js --root-mode upward making --root-mode the last param it runs the command but it doesn't seem to load the config, it throws me an error:

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import express from 'express'
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

It's only working for build using babel src --root-mode upward --out-dir dist

[theprobugmaker]

That is how my babel.config.js looks like:

module.exports = (api) => {
  api.cache(true)
	
  return {
    presets: [
      [
        "@babel/env",
        {
          targets: {
            node: true
          }
        }
      ]
    ],
    ignore: ['node_modules']
  }
}

Can you try

babel-node --root-mode upward src/index.js 

[theprobugmaker]

@loganfsmyth

yarn babel-node --root-mode upward src/index.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:605
throw err;
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\ZD\Desktop\acme\packages\server\upward'

It's trying to load upward as a module
