Error while parsing JSON babel failure

Question

When I run gulp I get error while parsing JSON:

Syntax Error 'C:\Path\main.js' Error while parsing JSON
at: 98
text: '{\r\n   "development":

"text" is truncated in the command line. I tried piping the output to a file and that failed because the error did not showup in the file:

Powershell cmd

gulp | Out-File C:\temp.txt -width 120

.babelrc

{
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": ["react-transform"],
      }
    }
  }
}

My gulp task uses babelify

gulp.task('js', function(){
  browserify(config.paths.mainJs,  { debug: true })
      .transform(babel, {presets: ["react"]})
      .transform(reactify)
      .bundle()
      .on('error', console.error.bind(console))
      .pipe(source('bundle.js'))
      .pipe(sourcemaps.init({ loadMaps: true }))
      .pipe(sourcemaps.write('./'))//TODO: not sure if this syntax is correct
      .pipe(gulp.dest(config.paths.dist + '/scripts'))
      .pipe(connect.reload())
});

Try removing the extra comma in your bablerc

{
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": ["react-transform"]
      }
    }
  }
}
