Attempts to resolve unrelated string

[wlib]

🐛 bug report - Attempts to resolve unrelated string

🎛 Configuration (cli command)

$ parcel build ./src/index.js

🤔 Expected Behavior

Parcel should not attempt to resolve random JS strings just because they look like paths.

😯 Current Behavior

File Structure:

/xyz/project/
  service-worker.js
  src/
    index.js

src/index.js:

if ("serviceWorker" in navigator) {
  addEventListener("load", () =>
    navigator.serviceWorker.register("/service-worker.js")
  );
}

Error:

$ parcel build ./src/index.js
🚨  /xyz/project/src/index.js: Cannot resolve dependency './../../../service-worker.js' at '/service-worker.js'
    at /xyz/project/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:55:21
    at load (/xyz/project/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:69:43)

💁 Possible Solution

I have no idea, in another project with the same setup, this bug never hit me.

🌍 My Environment

Software	Version(s)
Parcel	1.4.1
Node	9.2.1
Yarn	1.3.2
OS	OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

U can use a relative path, or you could wait untill absolute paths get supported (It's not unrelated as the worker.js's code should end up in the dist folder like anything else...)

I don't think this is a duplicate. The core issue is that parcel tries to resolve string that looks like file path when it shouldn't do it. It should leave this string as is.

I'm seeing this issue now. Is there any workaround?
