After I've deleted couple files from project that uses Parcel bundler, command parcel ./index.html started to output following error:

Cannot read property 'type' of undefined

Solution

Delete .parcel-cache and dist folders and run command again. (NB: The cache folder was called just .cache in version 1.x of Parcel.)

Proposal

Add cleanup script for this and run it each time before parcel build:

 "scripts": {
   "cleanup": "rm -rf .parcel-cache dist",
   "dev": "npm run cleanup && parcel ./index.html",
   ...
 }
