ember-cli-babel Ember addons that use babel plugins cannot be developed on using `npm link` or `yarn link`

(please let me know if this belongs somewhere else)

When I attempt to work on a ember addon by yarn link or npm link babel cannot resolve plugins.

Steps to reproduce:

ember new
git clone a ember addon with babel plugins ( ember-cli-imgix uses babel plugins ) git clone [email protected]:imgix/ember-cli-imgix.git
run npm link in the addons dir.
run npm link <addon name> in the newly created ember app.
run ember serve

Observe that ember cannot resolve the babel plugins.

My feeling is that it has something to do with: https://github.com/babel/babel-loader/issues/149#issuecomment-320581223 But I really don't know.

You might see something like:

My current workaround is to push the addon and consume it by commit hash.

@lukemelia is this the same basic issue that you were mentioning to me tonight after Ember NYC?

@rwjblue the repro steps match; the specific error that I saw is different, but it was on ember-cli 2.18. I'm not sure if it is triggered by addons with babel plugins, but that is certainly possible.
