Syntax error on comments in SVG (SVGO disabled)

[RomkeVdMeulen]

When I try to import an SVG that has a comment in it's body while svgo is disabled, I get this error:

SyntaxError: icon.svg: Unexpected token (1:63)

Re-enabling SVGO and having the comment removed fixes this, but ideally it should be possible to import the raw SVG code.

babel.config.js

{
    "presets": ["next/babel"],
    "plugins": [
        [
            "inline-react-svg",
            {
                "svgo": false
            }
        ]
    ]
}

Can you share the raw svg code, so i can reproduce?

I'm able to reproduce this as described.

However, this seems like a Babel parsing issue - not something we can fix. Please file an issue on babel, and I'll close this one.
