Cannot run Parcel in my project (Parcel does not create dist with compiled file)

Question

Please help me figure out the problem. I can not understand the essence of the error and how to fix it.

I initialize the project: npm init -y

Install Parcel: npm install --save-dev parcel

I create src directory with an index.html file.

When I run the npx parcel src/index.html command, I get an error:

Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I resolved it by changing the line at node_modules@parcel\core\lib\resolveOptions.js:112:168 to

let cache = (_initialOptions$cache = initialOptions.cache) !== null && _initialOptions$cache !== void 0 ? _initialOptions$cache : new (_cache().FSCache)(outputFS, cacheDir);

Basically, I removed the outputFS instanceof _fs().NodeFS ? new (_cache().LMDBCache)(cacheDir) : part of that line. For some unknown reason, there seems to be a problem with LMDBCache and Parcel.

You're missing the build command from npx parcel src/index.html:

Update to:

npx parcel build src/index.html.
