error: unknown option `--visualise'

I dont know what Im doing wrong, but i always get this message

Ah wait - damn Im stupid.. Was testing in a way that missed this (rather important!) problem. So to fix this properly will require a parcel change which Ive raised a feature request for.

In the meantime you can use version 0.8.2 which has all the current features minus the cli arg check.

i.e. install

npm i -D [email protected]

and use bundle without the --visualise flag

parcel build example.html

I'll update the README in a bit

[gregtillbrook]

Not sure how long it'll take for the parcel change so Ive completely removed the --visualise cli arg for now.

Thanks for the heads up on the problem!

thanks @gregtillbrook !

ENV vars for a temp workaround?

[davidnagli]

@gregtillbrook Honestly I don't think the plugin overhaul will be done anytime soon. 😟

As @TimNZ mentioned, env vars might be the only workaround for now 😬

[gregtillbrook]

@TimNZ ENV is an interesting workaround idea - Id rather not have the usage keep changing though so think I'll drop the --visualise bit for now and revisit when parcels updated. If it proves a nuisance and folks complain, i'll look at it again.

Thanks for the heads up @davidnagli

Plenty of tools support CLI and ENV for option setting, you can support both when CLI works?

[davidnagli]

It’s definitely possible, it’s just not a feature yet.

I introduced an RFC for a plugin overhaul, but given all the other high priority features such as Vue support, nobody really got around to designing and implementing the new plugin system (which will hopefully include that feature). Hopefully it happens soon.

Hi @davidnagli. CLI vs ENV comment was for @gregtillbrook
There are definitely other things the Parcel team should be prioritising. Thanks
