🐛parcel lays a brick when trying to build with error: "template is not a function"

See original GitHub issue

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
    </head>

    <body>
        <script src="./index.tsx"></script>
    </body>
</html>

index.tsx contains proprietary code that compiles and runs fine with webpack.

Relevant error message in totality (with index.html directory stripped just because):

index.html: template is not a function

@DeMoorJasper , --no-source-maps does eliminate the error I was getting. Unfortunately now, it says Building random-file.js for about 40 files and then it begins to hang with no further output/work.

Fixed on my machine by adding babel-template and babel-types to parcel’s package.json. Not sure if this is indicative of some other larger issue, but submitted a PR that can be reviewed as far as that goes. For a temporary fix, you can try just editing your local copy like I did.
