MemberExpressions attempts to convert process.env.hasOwnProperty to a node

[EricRabil]

🐛 bug report

At /src/visitors/globals.js:26, Parcel is recognizing DotEnv's call to process.env.hasOwnProperty(...) and is attempting to convert it to a node, causing the babel converter to throw an exception.

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

.babelrc

{
    "presets": [
        ["env", {
            "targets": {
                "browsers": ["last 1 Chrome version"]
            }
        }]
    ]
}

cli

parcel watch index.html -d ../../out/frontend

🤔 Expected Behavior

It should be able to compile

😯 Current Behavior

It throws the above error due to DotEnv

💁 Possible Solution

In /src/visitors/globals.js at the MemberExpressions definition, check whether the inline access to process.env is a function call, and if so, do not attempt to coerce it to a node.

🔦 Context

The issue affects me by preventing the build process from completing.

I am spawning a parcel instance through child_process however the error occurs when running it from a standard CLI. I am compiling a TypeScript/Vue project and redirecting it to another directory.

Had the same error in this project.

[EricRabil]

@Ronnie1734 does yours still repro / have you found a fix?

[EricRabil]

Anyone?

@EricRabil Hello. Just tried to use parcel and it can't load dotenv. To repro you need just two lines of code:

import dotenv from 'dotenv'
dotenv.config()

[jchu4483]

Getting the same error when trying to use dotenv in my project when running parcel too.

@TrueCarry @jchu4483

Having same issue, have you been lucky solving it pls?

EDIT: Not a fix, but quick workaround is to use dotenv v4.0.0 - works well
https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/releases/tag/v4.0.0

[manthis]

Same here, impossible to use dotenv with parcel. Any update on that subject?
