Hey @karlhorky ,
Thanks for the really detailed description! (for the other opened issues, also 🙂) I'll brainstorm this with the team and hopefully we'll come up with a clear / intuitive enough solution.
Weirdly enough I'm having this same issue.
Currently despite my main being set in package.json
, it always opens the lock file by default.
Note: Also using Parcel.js
This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is removed or a comment is made.
not stale, although this point is no longer true:
3. If the
src/styles.css
file is renamed tosrc/index.css
then this file will now be the default file to open.
And the file
URL parameter helps a lot with specifying a file to open, also on a new sandbox:

🐛 bug report
Description of the problem
Opening a Vanilla (Parcel) sandbox, it is not clear which file will open.
I have been unable to find why this is in my quick investigation of the behavior, but starting from a fresh sandbox, its behavior can be characterized as the following through these reproduction steps:
src/index.js
, even though it is not listed under themain
field inpackage.json
index.html
), then the default file that will open will now beindex.html
src/styles.css
file is renamed tosrc/index.css
then this file will now be the default file to open.index.html
file is deleted and recreated, this will again become the default file to open 😳It seems like there should be a more clear, reliable list of default files. My suggestion would be:
main
field inpackage.json
If these three configuration options are not set, I would suggest not opening any file initially.
This may also apply to other templates, potentially in different ways.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
I would like my sandboxes to have a reliable default initial file, based on clear rules.
