Parcel can`t find module "@parcel/transformer-sass" and callback must be a function

[veS-Sev]

🐛 bug report

I want to create my simple project with Parcell. But I can`t use scss for it because Parcel cannot find plugin "@parcel/transformer-sass".

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

{ "name": "parcel-test", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "source": "src/index.html", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", "start": "parcel", "build": "parcel build" }, "devDependencies": { "@parcel/transformer-sass": "^2.0.0", "parcel": "^2.0.0", "sass": "^1.43.4" } }

🤔 Expected Behavior

I expect same like this

Parcel supports Sass files automatically using the @parcel/transformer-sass plugin. When a .sass or .scss file is detected, it will be installed into your project automatically.

😯 Current Behavior

When I wrote <link rel="stylesheet" href="index.scss">

I saw the following:

`@parcel/core: Cannot find Parcel plugin "@parcel/transformer-sass"

  C:\Users\newse\Desktop\parcel-test\node_modules\@parcel\config-default\index.json:25:23
    24 |     "*.{styl,stylus}": ["@parcel/transformer-stylus"],

    26 |     "*.less": ["@parcel/transformer-less"],
    27 |     "*.{css,pcss}": ["@parcel/transformer-postcss", "@parcel/transformer-css"],

When I restarted Parcel I saw

Error: Failed to install @parcel/transformer-sass: Callback must be a function. Received undefined

  at async PromiseQueue._next (C:\Users\newse\Desktop\parcel-test\node_modules\@parcel\utils\lib\PromiseQueue.js:75:5)

I added @parcel/transformer-sass manually to devDependencies, but it didn't solve the problem

💁 Possible Solution

Maybe I need to use earlier versions of Parcel.

Same issue here on OSX

I'm having similar issues on Windows. Here's the error I receive when I try to import an index.scss file into my index.js file:

Run with parcel watch:

window.jQuery = $;
window.$ = $;

console.log(typeof $=== 'function');

console.log('parcel online');

$(function() {

Here's my index.scss:

@import "bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
@import "bootstrap-table/dist/bootstrap-table";

$body-color: slateblue;

Can someone please provide a full reproduction as a zip file or git repo?

+1 it happens on all projects when I'm trying to add SASS file on macOSx The transformer-sass package is in the folder but it don't recognize it.

Parcel v2.0.0 Node v14.17.3 Yarn v1.22.10

Reproduce steps:

1. Init project with Parcel with the default configuration. (yarn add --dev parcel)
2. Create an index.html file and include sass file or include in .ts import * as classes from './style.module.scss'
3. Use yarn serve or yarn watch.
4. --> Cannot find module "@parcel/transformer-sass"

Same issue with Stylus. Failed to install @parcel/transformer-stylus:

I've tried to install it myself, but no luck. Node 16.3, Parcel 2.0.0

[wesbos]

Seems like this code is returning null: from installPackage.js

let fromPkgPath = await resolveConfig(
    fs,
    from,
    ['package.json'],
    projectRoot,
  );

Manually installing it doesnt work either

[wesbos]

This is fixed in parcel@2.0.0-nightly.905 and parcel@2.0.1 (should be released any min now) https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/pull/7103

Thanks to Daniel for the heads up: https://twitter.com/danielbisch/status/1457728155813306369

This can be closed

Looks like this introduced a new issue if anyone is checking:

https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/7271

There is something odd going on with module resolution for @parcel/transformer-sass in particular.

My project looks like this

- package.json (1)
- subfolder
--- package.json (2)
--- .parcelrc

If @parcel/transformer-sass is installed in package.json (2), we get Cannot find module "@parcel/transformer-sass". If it's installed in the base package.json (1), it works.

Can't replicate with other plugins like @parcel/transformer-stylus.

This only happens, of course, when --no-autoinstall is set.

This issue still appears if you install Parcel as a dependency. It must be installed as a dev dependency: npm install parcel --save-dev

[IbrahimMahbub]

this will fix the problem npm install parcel --save-dev

[Thremulant]

On top of running npm install parcel --save-dev to get the latest version of parcel, I needed to update each one of the dependencies, like npm i --save-dev @parcel/transformer-sass @parcel/transformer-glsl

[mariodever]

In my case, it was because of the package-lock.json file from parent directory, after removing that file, it worked properly.

[alimukhammad]

what helped me solve the issue is installing parcel globally

npm install -g parcel

then

npm install --save-dev parcel
