After I’ve deleted couple files from project that uses Parcel bundler, command parcel ./index.html
started to output following error:
Cannot read property 'type' of undefined at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:654:54) at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:721:12) at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:721:12) at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:721:12) at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:721:12) at Bundler.createBundleTree (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:721:12) at Bundler.bundle (<project_root>/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/Bundler.js:298:14) at <anonymous> at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)

Solution
Delete .parcel-cache
and dist
folders and run command again. (NB: The cache folder was called just .cache
in version 1.x of Parcel.)
Proposal
Add cleanup script for this and run it each time before parcel build:
"scripts": { "cleanup": "rm -rf .parcel-cache dist", "dev": "npm run cleanup && parcel ./index.html", ... }
Also you can use rimraf lib to do a crossplatform cleanup task. https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf. So scripts will look like this:
"scripts": { "cleanup": "rimraf .parcel-cache dist", "dev": "npm run cleanup && parcel ./index.html", ... }
