I accidentally posted a new issue before realizing that it was a duplicate. Here is that issue's text:

This error seems to be happening again on newer parcel/node. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I'm not comfortable with giving it permissions such as --allow-root and --unsafe-perms when these permissions are largely undocumented (it took several minutes to find anything at all on them, and I can't find anything that has enough detail as to what they do, and even so running something as root should probably be audited first, but I don't have time to do this right now).

Versions:

$ npm --version        
6.14.8
$ parcel --version                    
1.12.4
$ uname -r
5.9.1-arch1-1

Exact error:

$ npm run build

This is an issue with the dependency deasync, probably missing binaries here: https://github.com/abbr/deasync-bin

This isn't really a Parcel issue directly, we got rid of deasync in Parcel 2 for this reason as well as it not being totally reliable and slower than standard synchronous code. We can't easily get rid of it in Parcel 1 though as it would require a pretty large refactor. Hopefully we can release a stable Parcel 2 soonish.

[m-w-d-d]

@DeMoorJasper / @john01dav - so is the solution here to downgrade Node for the interim?

[john01dav]

@m-w-d-d I just upgraded to Parcel 2. I didn't even need to change any of my code.

[DeMoorJasper]

@m-w-d-d you got 3 options really. Downgrade node, fix deasync or upgrade to parcel 2

[m-w-d-d]

@DeMoorJasper / @john01dav - I might have not realised Parcel 2 was out... ahem :)

Thanks to you both!
