Fails to run with older versions of ESBuild

[nayaabkhan]

Error

UnknownEsbuildError: Error: Build failed with 1 error:
[redacted]/node_modules/esbuild/lib/main.js:239:12: error: Invalid option in build() call: "jsx"

Possible cause

@contentlayer/core lists an old version in peerDependencies:

contentlayer/packages/@contentlayer/core/package.json

Line 17 in 20ce905

"esbuild": "0.11.x || 0.12.x || 0.13.x",

It uses the jsx option which was added in ESBuild v0.12.1:

contentlayer/packages/@contentlayer/core/src/getConfig/index.ts

Line 69 in 20ce905

jsx: 'transform',

Thanks for opening this issue. Can you please provide a reproduction repo with instructions how to reproduce the problem you're experiencing? Thank you!

Hey @schickling, here's the reproduction repo forked from the https://github.com/contentlayerdev/next-contentlayer-example.

There are two way this can be reproduced:

1. By adding another package that requires an older version of esbuild: nayaabkhan/next-contentlayer-example@0471b02
2. By using overrides to manually set a version: nayaabkhan/next-contentlayer-example@fe9b5c4

This should be addressed with the 0.2.5 release. 🎉
