You should be able to do browserify test.coffee -t coffeeify -t workerify but I just tried that and it doesn't work. I don't know why.

@shama browserify doesn't change the name of compiled coffeescript files, so the extensions are still .coffee which are subsequently excluded by the regex check in the first line of module.exports.

changing /\.js/ to /\.(js|coffee)/ fixes it, but if the file doesn't contain javascript, esprima fails and dumps a big stack trace. if that's not a problem, then simply changing the regex will do the trick :)

@dstokes the order is important when you specify your transforms. If you pass -t coffeeify -t workerify instead of -t workerify -t coffeeify your CoffeeScript will be compiled to JS before getting handled by workerify and it should work without any errors. That's the only workaround without changing Browserify at the moment :)

@hughsk yeah, I tested that. The file is properly transformed to js, but workerify checks the file (module) name's extension before parsing. Browserify does not change the string used in require statements (i.e. - 'thing.coffee') and thus, workerify skips it.

@dstokes Added coffee to the extensions it accepts and using browserify test.coffee -t coffeeify -t workerify works. Thanks for the suggestion!

@shama nice, thx!
