🐛 bug report

Given a directory structure where the parcel project resides in a subdirectory. When referencing a css file anywhere in the parent directory structure, parcel overwrites the package.json file in the subdirectory completely with a file containing exclusively devDependencies with a single entry for cssnano. This does not happen if --no-minification is specified on the command line.

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

package.json:

{
  "name": "parcel-project",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "parcel build index.js"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "parcel-bundler": "^1.12.3"
  }
}

index.js:

import '../test.css';

command:

$ npm run build

🤔 Expected Behavior

Build should produce css and js file in dist directory.

😯 Current Behavior

$ npm run build

> parcel-project@1.0.0 build /tmp/bundler-test/parcel-project
> parcel build index.js

Also contents of package.json looks like this afterwards:

  "devDependencies": {
    "cssnano": "^4.1.10"
  }
}
