Parcel 2: same "distDir" option is not applied for multiple targets

[thien-do]

🐛 bug report

The distDir option in each "target" is not applied. The default dist/<target_name> is always used

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

{
	"targets": {
		"app": {
			"source": "src/index.html",
			"distDir": "./dist",
			"context": "browser"
		},
		"workers": {
			"source": "node_modules/monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.worker.js",
			"distDir": "./dist",
			"context": "web-worker"
		}
	},
}

🤔 Expected Behavior

The output of both targets should be under "dist"

😯 Current Behavior

💁 Possible Solution

I don't know...

🔦 Context

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish? I'm trying to add monaco editor to my app. It requires several workers to be built separately.

I also try to change the "distDir" to other values (such as "dist/test1" for the app and "dist/test2" for the workers) but none work. The default "dist/target_name" is always used.

Not sure if this is related, but some files are built outside of both targets and under "dist" directly:

I guess these files come from the first target (my app) but don't know why they are not put under "dist/src" like the index.html

I also learned that it works fine if the "distDir" are different (e.g. "distfoo" and "distbar", or even "dist" and "dist/foo")

Update: I tried some more and turn out it only happen with parcel and not parcel build
