Babel plugin doesn't run as expected - output is not always shown

Question

I have made a babel plugin that should find all functions with a specific name in order to get the input parameters. However, it doesn't run as I expect it to.

Right now I simply console.log the expected parameter, but they are not always found.

 module.exports = function ({ types: t }) { return { visitor: { CallExpression: function(path) { const node = path.node; console.log("name:", node.callee.name); if(node.callee.name === 'i18n') { const argumentNode = node.arguments[0]; if(t.isStringLiteral(argumentNode)){ console.log(argumentNode.value); } } } } }; };

In fact, the first console.log :

 console.log("name:", node.callee.name);

creates like 20 outputs, but I'm expecting way more.

In .babelrc , I have added my ast-crawler like this:

 { "plugins": [ "babel-plugin-add-module-exports", "ast-crawler" ], "presets": [ ["es2015"], "react", "stage-2" ] }

I have tried to change the order, but the result is the same.

Sometimes I get all the expected output, but why don't I always get it? Does babel only cache some of my code, so if I wait for x minutes I will get the expected output?

Answer 1

The issue was that babel cache was used.

 query: { cacheDirectory: '.babelcache' }

After removing the cache I got the expected output
