This failing test case demonstrates a regression between 7.0.0-beta.38 and
7.0.0-beta.39 in the @babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread package.
I distilled this test case from a larger configuration of plugins in my
application, one of which calls api.traverse.cache.clearScope(). Although
calling clearScope() is an uncommon thing for a plugin to do, it was a
reliable way to reproduce the problem. If I can find other reliable
reproductions, I'll push some additional failing tests to this PR.
Regardless of how common it is, clearing the scope cache should be a safe
operation that only slows down the transform (because scopes have to be
recreated and re-crawled). Crashing due to a spurious duplicate
declaration seems like a bug worth fixing.
My hunch is that [these two lines](eb38ea2b10/packages/babel-plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread/src/index.js (L75-L76))
(which were changed in `7.0.0-beta.39`) are not actually removing the
original rest element as a binding from the enclosing `Scope`, in certain
circumstances, so the new variable declaration ends up colliding with the
old (removed) binding.

Supporting Babel
Babel is community-driven and thus mostly maintained by a group of volunteers. It has a lot of companies and projects using it but almost no sponsors/people funded to work on it. If you'd like to help maintain the future of the project, please consider:
- Giving developer time on the project. (Message us on Twitter or Slack)
- Giving funds by becoming a backer/sponsor on OpenCollective
Intro
Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version.
In
// ES2015 arrow function
[1, 2, 3].map((n) => n + 1);
Out
[1, 2, 3].map(function(n) {
return n + 1;
});
