Saw ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined when using async / await

I read that adding "use latest" to your script would run the code through Babel, so I embraced modern JS from the get-go on a recent project. Really cool!

However, after deploying I saw ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined error from using async / await. So instead of relying on the builtin Babel support, I ran it through Babel locally to test and deploy the result. Note that I'm not using --bundle since it's a simple script.

Looks like it's missing the regenerator runtime. I ended up working around this by running babel locally on my source and deploying that instead. Here's my .babelrc file:

{
  "presets": ["env"],
   "plugins": [
    ["transform-runtime", {
      "polyfill": false,
      "regenerator": true
    }]
  ]
}

Thanks so much!

Hi Everyone,

Webtask.io now runs on Node 8 directly. Async/Away is supported. I am going to close this issue. Feel free to respond and reopen if you have any questions.
