SyntaxErorr When Module Contains Import Statement

[bookercodes]

Problem

When a module contains an ES2015 import statement I get a SyntaxError:

ava test.js 

/home/booker/Code/ava-test/index.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import _ from "lodash";
                                                              ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

How to reproduce

nvm use 5.0.0
npm install -g ava
npm install ava
npm install lodash

index.js:

import _ from "lodash";

test.js

import test from 'ava';
import sut from "./";

ava

AVA doesn't transpile your code, only your test file.

You probably want #111.

Thanks, @sindresorhus. I'll look into that now.
