Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

transpile
✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-es6-module-transpiler');
✗ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-es6-module-transpiler'); // correct, no common mistake
Registers the 'transpile' task. No import needed, it's a Grunt plugin.
transpile:enable
✓ grunt.registerTask('test', ['transpile:enable', 'mocha']);
✗ grunt.registerTask('test', ['transpile', 'mocha']); // runs transpile task instead of enabling
The :enable subtask temporarily enables ES6 module syntax for other Node scripts.

Registers the transpile task and configures it to convert ES6 modules to CommonJS.

// Gruntfile.js module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-es6-module-transpiler'); grunt.initConfig({ transpile: { main: { type: 'cjs', files: [{ expand: true, cwd: 'lib/', src: ['**/*.js'], dest: 'tmp/' }] } } }); grunt.registerTask('default', ['transpile']); };
Debug
Known issues
deprecatedThis plugin and its underlying es6-module-transpiler are deprecated in favor of Babel.
fix
Migrate to @babel/preset-env or @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs with Grunt via grunt-babel.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaThe transpiler forces strict mode, causing issues with libraries like Chai that use arguments.callee.
fix
Switch to expect.js or another assertion library that works in strict mode.
affects: >=0.1.0
breakingNode >= 0.8.0 required, may not work with recent Node versions.
fix
Use a compatible Node version or migrate to a modern transpiler.
affects: >=0.1.0
