Invalid Version: undefined #5943

LeoMsky · 2021-03-02T03:11:24Z

Everything is OK yesterday，but I've had this problem since I installed it again this morning

skjb · 2021-03-02T03:41:35Z

FYI reverting to 1.12.3 seems to work

DarinTayTwoXAR · 2021-03-02T04:32:00Z

Pinning @babel/preset-env to 7.13.8 is what worked for me.

The version check that is failing here was added in 7.13.9 here - babel/babel@c155caf#diff-cddb13dc00454073d19373b40529b8047e25b9141ab627eb8be482601f16eabe

vaibhavkumar-sf · 2021-03-02T07:48:28Z

Yes, reverting to 1.12.3 is working

bemnlam · 2021-03-02T08:21:01Z

Even a minimal repo with Parcel 1.12.4 installed does not work:

npm init -y && npm i parcel && touch index.js && echo "<html><body>Minimal Parcel<script src=\"./index.js\"></script></body></html>" > index.html

Add a dev command in package.json:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "parcel index.html"
},

And then run npm run dev. This is the error:

Like the others, pinning Parcel to 1.12.3 in package.json can (temporarily) solve this problem. e.g.:

"dependencies": {
  "parcel": "1.12.3"
},

jansiegel · 2021-03-02T11:50:48Z

This seems to be caused by an update to babel@7.13.9 and this change in particular: https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/12934/files#diff-cddb13dc00454073d19373b40529b8047e25b9141ab627eb8be482601f16eabeR301

It requires an object with a version field to be passed to presetEnv, while parcel-bundler@1.12.4 doesn't to that: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/blob/parcel-bundler%401.12.4/packages/core/parcel-bundler/src/transforms/babel/env.js#L62

wachunei · 2021-03-02T12:08:33Z

It seems this bug is present on both v1 and v2 babel/babel#12945 (comment)

Although v1 is not maintained anymore, is it posssible to make an exception here and bump a patch in both version when the fix is available?

dwanl · 2021-03-02T12:10:57Z

Yes, I also had this problem

nicolo-ribaudo · 2021-03-02T13:59:09Z

You can workaround this by adding

"resolutions": {
  "@babel/preset-env": "7.13.8"
}

to your package.json file. With Yarn it will automatically download the previous @babel/preset-env version (which doesn't rely on the Babel API Parcel isn't providing); with npm you'll need https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-force-resolutions to make it work.

mmikhalko · 2021-03-02T14:22:03Z

Please fix this bug ASAP

parcel-bundler/parcel#5943

angeliquejw · 2021-03-02T15:13:26Z

The workaround posted by @nicolo-ribaudo worked for me; thanks, Nicolò!

devongovett · 2021-03-02T15:59:51Z

I don't believe this occurs in Parcel 2 FWIW. The codepath linked in the babel issue is never hit: config.isSource is always true due to

parcel/packages/transformers/babel/src/config.js

Lines 39 to 41 in 806cc65

    
           if (!config.isSource) { 
        
             return; 
        
           }

devongovett · 2021-03-02T17:32:15Z

I would encourage folks to try out v2 as it's much more stable and actively maintained whereas v1 has been unmaintained for some time. Personally, I don't use v1 in any of my projects anymore, and v2 is being used in production by some big companies like Adobe and Atlassian. While we are very close to a v2 release candidate, the best way for now is to pin to a recent nightly. If that doesn't work for you, you can try the workaround posted by @nicolo-ribaudo above.

tad-lispy · 2021-03-02T20:52:45Z

Prompted by this issue I just made a switch to v2 few hours ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I had a bit of trouble with compiling Elm, but eventually got it to work. See here for details: #5948

saostad · 2021-03-02T21:32:34Z

I have this problem in v2 too.

tiennv-fireapps · 2021-03-03T04:15:46Z

I just install parcel global yesterday and applied these ways above,
but still get this error.

leonsux · 2021-03-03T06:51:18Z

same problem

tienluckyfor · 2021-03-03T07:47:05Z

yarn global add parcel-bundler@1.12.3
then run
parcel index.html
work for me!

Qix- · 2021-03-03T10:34:20Z

@devongovett @mischnic Might I suggest pinning this until it's resolved; I imagine you're going to see a lot more duplicates.

I would encourage folks to try out v2

Works great aside from the fact none of the plugins work for it. I do appreciate the much more stable file watching. But it's a non-starter since nothing aside from the core bundler works. It doesn't even detect old packages with an error or anything, it just silently ignores them.

EDIT: Downgrading to 1.12.3 doesn't work for me. Nuking node_modules didn't change anything. I also have package-lock.json disabled and have exact versions enabled. parcel --version reports 1.12.3. I'm still getting the same message.

<rant>

This isn't targeted at the Parcel devs in particular, though I'm getting really tired of having to have the "semver ranges are evil" talk and getting told I don't know what I'm talking about. 10 years later and these utopian views of perfect versioning semantics haven't panned out.

</rant>

To summarize #5943 (comment) for NPM users:

Make sure package-lock.json is enabled. If you have it disabled via e.g. .npmrc, remove that config line and add an entry into .gitignore if you must. It's required for this fix to work.
Add "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions" to your scripts in package.json
Add the resolutions block to the root of package.json, e.g.:

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "@babel/preset-env": "7.13.8"
  }
}

If you have NOT already installed your node_modules, run npm i twice. This is because the first install only modifies the package-lock.json entry, but doesn't tell npm to actually install it. The second run will make npm see the pinned dependency edits and pull the correct version.

Note that this workaround only works at the top level; you cannot employ this as a library as it won't work for downstream consumers of your library. There's no workaround in such cases.

devongovett · 2021-03-03T13:05:29Z

@Qix- Which plugins in particular are you interested in?

This commit adds the typescript declaration file. It further upgrades parcel to version 2. This needed to be done to get rid of the `Invalid Version: undefined` error (see parcel-bundler/parcel#5943).

This commit adds the typescript declaration file. It further upgrades parcel to version 2. This needed to be done to get rid of the `Invalid Version: undefined` error (see parcel-bundler/parcel#5943). While doing so I also had to change the react import in the `example/index.js` due to a parcel bug (see parcel-bundler/parcel#1199).

The @babel/preset-env package starting at v7.13.9 and above will throw a "Invalid Version: undefined" error on build time, as a result of a conflict with parcel-bundler v1. See discussion here: parcel-bundler/parcel#5943 There is no fix in Parcel v1, so @babel/preset-env should be pegged here until Parcel is upgraded to v2 or another solution is found.

Velodata · 2022-02-03T13:57:37Z

Came across this problem myself today while trying to run a two year old tutorial regarding React.js and Wordpress.

After much poking and prodding I discovered that it helps to clear your npm cache files. It seems that once you download the wrong version of @babel (at least in the context of the problem defined in this thread) then that is the version which keeps getting loaded into your node-modules directory.

AjiteshMDK · 2022-02-12T06:47:20Z

Getting the same error. can anyone please help me on fixing it? already have followed all the solution mentioned here, still no luck. any help on this would be great.

Yes! Try to downgrade to this version. I used v.1.12.4. I have spent half a day finding a solution - and only this switching worked for me!
