Reproduction repo for elastic/require-in-the-middle#72

Run dev script. Note that the very first run does not fail as @babel/register is creating its cache file. If you run it a 2nd time you should see the following error:

<path_to_repo>\node_modules\@babel\core\lib\parser\index.js:74
    throw err;
    ^

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: unexpected that there is no Module entry for "<path_to_repo>\node_modules\@babel\parser\lib\index.js" in require.cache

There's a workaround for this issue as suggested by this comment by defining BABEL_DISABLE_CACHE=1. This fix can be tested with the dev:fix script in this repo.

Tested with Node.js v18.13.0.
