Build freezes and ends with [Error: Bad file descriptor]

[Yash-Singh1]

🐛 bug report

Build just freezes. It successfully finishes building, but never exits, same for the serve option. After around 5 minutes it exits with [Error: Bad file descriptor].

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

https://github.com/Yash-Singh1/kanda-weather/blob/main/package.json

🤔 Expected Behavior

It exits after building

😯 Current Behavior

The build never stops even if it is done. At the end it actually prints out:

[Error: Bad file descriptor]

💁 Possible Solution

Force quit the build after it is done and then manually start up the application. Of course, this is not the best option when testing or publishing in CI/CD. I am pretty sure there is some sort of

🔦 Context

I am trying to build my React/Redux application

💻 Code Sample

🌍 Your Environment

Software	Version(s)
Parcel	^2.0.0-beta.3.1
Node	v16.3.0
npm/Yarn	7.19.1
Operating System	Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

UPDATE:

I ran sudo npm run build as suggested over here #6463 (comment), and it ended up with a lot of parsing errors related to the parcel scoped dependencies internal javascript files.

I was experiencing the same and managed to find a fix for my case. It doesn't appear to be the same as the OP given their package.json.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2.

My package.json contained an entry point as per the docs:

  "source": "public/index.html",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "parcel",
    "build": "parcel build"
  },

Running npm run start or npm run build would result in [Error: Bad file descriptor].

However explicitly passing the entry point, such as npm run start public/index.html ran fine. Alternatively npx parcel public/index.html also worked.

I pass in the entrypoint to the CLI currently. I will try to specify the source option in the package.json. Another note is that the application successfully deploys to Vercel (my CD).

For me, the solution was to ensure that parcel was installed in package.json.
Ad-hoc npx always resulted in [Error: Bad file descriptor].
Edit: Also try typescript and tsc if you use them.
