Parcel2 build command outputs bundles in my src folder instead of dist folder.

🐛 Parcel2 build command outputs bundles in my src folder instead of dist folder.

When I run the parcel build ./src/index.html --dist-dir ./dist the bundle will get outputted to my src directory instead of the dist directory. Running parcel serve ./src/index.html works as expected.

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

{
  "name": "my app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "This is a app",
  "main": "src/index.html",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "parcel serve ./src/index.html",
    "build": "parcel build ./src/index.html --dist-dir ./dist",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "Andrew",
  "license": "ISC",
  "alias": {
    "components": "./src/components",
    "containers": "./src/containers",
    "style": "./src/style",
    "assets": "./src/assets",
    "libs": "./src/libs",
    "workers": "./src/workers",
    "db": "./src/db"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "parcel": "next",
    "sass": "^1.26.11"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "bulma": "^0.9.1",
    "lunr": "^2.3.9",
    "react": "^16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.1",
    "react-router-dom": "^5.2.0"
  }
}

🤔 Expected Behavior

It should build to ./dist even without the additional flag.

😯 Current Behavior

Throws all bundle files and replaces my index.html with the bundle version.

🔦 Context

I’m building a very basic app using React to try out Parcel v2. I never experienced this issue using Parcel v1. Was really hoping to migrate the team to v2. 😢

Remove this line:

	"main": "src/index.html",

Duplicate of https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/4255 (because the src folder should never be overwritten because of a configuration error).

(Also, --dist-dir ./dist isn’t needed, that’s the default already).
