The "id" argument must be of type string about parcel-plugin-custom-dist-structure

Hi @iamwangkj. Thank you for reporting this issue. Could you please specify project folder structure (src) and how files are referenced?

@iamwangkj please check out v1.1.13
The error should be gone :)

Hi! I have the same problem and FIX #26 does not help in my case.

If you install Parcel globally as mentioned on the Parcel Getting Started page (yarn global add parcel-bundler) this error is still there. But the fix helped me to find a workaround for now.

If I add parcel-bundler also locally with yarn add -D parcel-bundler the plug-in worked for me like expected and helped me to achieve the output structure I want. So thanks for writing this plug-in.

Maybe it's possible to cover the global installation of Parcel also in future versions, because this seems to be the standard way of installing Parcel at least for new users.

Hi @EdgarKogel. Thank you for your comment.
I am glad my plugin served you well.

Unfortunately, it's a bit complicated to retrieve the path of the globally installed Parcel package.
As a fellow JS developer, you probably understand the fragmentation of this ecosystem :)
Some users use NPM, others use yarn, some use parcel package, then others use parcel-bundler and so on...

I agree with you that this is mostly a standard way of installing Parcel, but covering all of the above cases is error-prone. (already tried once)
Until further notice, you'll need to have Parcel as a project's development dependency.
