Following the tutorial on https://parceljs.org/ I get the following error when I run parcel index.html.

Ah it's because there is no package.json in your project. I will fix.

I ran into the same thing while following the getting started page.

I recommend making more explicit instructions on that page. I've submitted a PR with my suggestion for doing that. parcel-bundler/website#4

robdodson commented

After adding a package.json I'm now hitting #1

Getting closer though! 😄

devongovett commented

Published v1.0.1 which should fix both issues.

robdodson commented

Just installed 1.0.1, now i'm getting: Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory "/Users/robdodson/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.1/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src"

blargh. did you create a .babelrc but forget to install babel-preset-env in your project?

jaruesink commented

Is that in the documentation somewhere?

robdodson commented

I just followed the tutorial on the front page, it didn't mention needing a .babelrc :)

hmm, you shouldn't need a babelrc for that. I tried the code from the homepage just now and it seemed to work for me... i'll look into it more.

I have the same issue as above when following the getting started tutorial. The issue occurs when importing the css file.

thomaslittle commented

same issues here when attempting to import css or scss. /usr/local/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/builtins/css-loader.js: Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src"

devongovett commented

These issues should both be fixed in v1.0.2.

chriszrc commented

Using 1.9.0, if the package.json isn't there, you get the error:

/Users/chriszrc/github/proj-ticker/web/index.html: Cannot read property 'posthtml' of null
    at getConfig (/Users/chriszrc/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/src/transforms/posthtml.js:29:32)

People/I should read the docs more carefully, but it might be nice to have a better error message here-
