@nfcampos Thank you for reporting!
I assume that you are using AVA. I'm going to fix this.

Hey @twada! 😃

Hey @twada , any update on this? I see you made a commit but it doesn't seem to work. babylon still throws Unexpected token error. I'm guessing it needs babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread plugin to work

[twada]

@dbettini Thanks and I forgot to close this issue since this is fixed a year ago.

On Babel6, you can use object spread operator by setting embedAst: true to babel-plugin-espower. Would you try it?
If it doesn't work. Would you give me a small reproduction case in a form of github repository or gist?

On Babel7, I need a tiny fix to run experimental features so please keep in touch. I'll release it in a few days.

@twada since I'm using AVA, I just added babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread plugin by extending ava config in package.json

@dbettini FYI avajs/ava#1554
