Using babel-register in my cli npm application works locally but not globally after posting

Question

I developed a javascript CLI application that uses ES2015 code with babel as a compiler. (babel-require hook)

The application works fine locally, but when I publish on npm it stops working (babel doesn't seem to compile ES2015 files anymore)

Setup:

sample ./bootstrap.js(ES5):

require('babel-register');
require('./src/app.js');

Sample ./src/app.js(ES2015):

import package from 'package';
...

sample ./bin/myapp:

#!/usr/bin/env node
require('../bootstrap.js');

Local work execution:

appdir$ ./bin/myapp
I'm running fine!
appdir$

Run globally (after installing npm):

$ sudo npm install -g myapp
└── myapp@0.1.0
$ myapp
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/myapp/src/app.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import package from 'package';
                                                              ^^^^^^

What I tried:

• Adding ignore: falseto my file .babelrc, hoping it will enable compilation
• using options requiring hook arguments instead of .babelrcfile

Bad luck:/

TL; DR

babel-register hook ignore only .babelrc, .

./bootstrap.js:

require('babel-register')({
  ignore: false,
  only: /myapp\/src/
});
require('./src/app.js');

• ignore , node_modules , .
• only src.

:

• node-debug

  $ sudo npm install -g node-inspector
  

• (--debug-brk), .

  $ node-debug --debug-brk myapp
  

• URL-, node-debug, voila

• , require('./scr/app.js');
• "play",
• " " " ": "" (. ), ' '. , " ".
• , "scope variable", Object.require.extension babel-register/lib/node.js ignore only undefined, , , !

• shouldIgnore , : node_modules , !ignore && !only true ( ), . , ES2015 .

  babel-register/lib/node.js:120:
  function shouldIgnore(filename) {
    if (!ignore && !only) {  // here `ignore` and `only` were null, despite .babelrc values
      return getRelativePath(filename).split(_path2["default"].sep).indexOf("node_modules") >= 0;
    } else {
      return _babelCore.util.shouldIgnore(filename, ignore || [], only);
    }
  }
