Cannot declare functions when there is "import" statement

[brianhuster]

This is my rplugin (actually I just copied from the prototype example)

function MyPlugin(plugin) {
  this.plugin = plugin;
  plugin.registerFunction('MyFunc', [this, MyPlugin.prototype.func]);
}

MyPlugin.prototype.func = function() {
  this.plugin.nvim.setLine('A line, for your troubles');
};

export default MyPlugin;

If I save it to ~/.config/nvim/rplugin/node/myplugin/index.js then run :UpdateRemotePlugins | !cat ~/.local/share/nvim/rplugin.vim, then the result show that the function MyFunc has been registered. But if I just add this line to the top of the file index.js

import { abort } from "process";

Running :UpdateRemotePlugins | !cat ~/.local/share/nvim/rplugin.vim again and it show that the function MyFunc is not registered

Try adding logging in here to see if there are hints about what's failing: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/772f1966a348eb26bc9cb17d45bbdb739642ccdb/runtime/autoload/provider/node.vim#L132

I think it uses cli.js to invoke the remote plugin, the details are not clear because that code is too convoluted.

All of this will be much simpler after https://github.com/neovim/node-client/pull/344
