Description

I'm using a Swagger 2 spec, with the javascript generator, on Mac OS 10.14.2, with node v8.12.0 and npm 6.4.1. I can't get the example code to work, regardless of the spec.

After I build it, I make a .tar.gz of the code, so I can install it with npm:

tar czvf /path/to/swagger.tar.gz /path/to/output

Then in my project, I run:

npm install
npm install /path/to/swagger.tar.gz

The last command outputs:

npm WARN deprecated babel@6.23.0: In 6.x, the babel package has been deprecated in favor of babel-cli. Check https://opencollective.com/babel to support the Babel maintainers

> fsevents@1.2.7 install /path/to/project/node_modules/fsevents
> node install

+ swagger_example@1.0.0

Then when I try to use it, following the example:

var SwaggerExample = require('swagger_example');

I get an error:

/path/to/project/node_modules/swagger_example/src/index.js:15
import ApiClient from './ApiClient';
^^^^^^

None

Run the Java generator command from the report with the linked example spec, then inspect the generated src/index.js and the installed package entry point. Reproduce the failure with Node v8 and verify that the generated package can be loaded with require without the unexpected token import error.
