Variables goes out of scope prematurely about kneden HOT 4 OPEN

@TheGrandmother
You first need to transpile your code to ES5, if you want the plugin to work as expected. That way, all the variables get hoisted to the top of the scope.

  var cid, resp;
  return Promise.resolve().then(function () {
    return getCid(slackUsername);
  }).then(function (_resp) {
    cid = _resp;
    return replyFn(`Creating time report for ${year} ${month} and ${cid}`);
  }).then(function () {
    return request.post(config.apiUrl + `/create-time-report/${cid}/${year}/${month}`);
  }).then(function (_resp) {
    resp = _resp;
  });

Thanks for filing. Beware that this module is essentially unmaintained currently. Happy to leave this open, but it probably won't get fixed.

You may want to take a look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-async

Yhea I realized that, this has been another exercise in "don't just pull random npm packages" :p

Thanks for the tip! I siwtched to async-to-generators but fast-async seems much better :)

Getting this as well. Transpiling to ES5 for this to work is a major bummer, as my target is Node 6.
