I am trying to use parcel for the first time. I installed it to my project using the npm install parcel command. Then I tried to start the development server by running the command npx parcel src/index.html and nothing happens. I do not get an error. I allowed the connection when the firewall prompt came up. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

According to Devon Govett, the creator of parcel, this issue is related to an upgrade of napi-rs in the @parcel/source-map package, which was released sometime after Parcel 2.2.1. For now, they have reverted this upgrade and published @parcel/source-map v2.0.2.
Once I read about this update, I uninstalled parcel, deleted my .parcel-cache folder, and reinstalled parcel. Now the npx parcel src/index.html command works for me.

Try changing the parcel in devDependencies to "latest". I did this when I had an issue using version 2.6.0 and it worked fine.
