Describe the Bug

The latest version of esbuild@0.24.1 causes astro build to fail. After changing the esbuild version to 0.24.0, everything works fine.

@leochiu-a I can confirm this error. I have the same error message.

I have the same error in a blank Astro 5.1 project, with no added dependencies, just creating the basic project and then running the build. As a workaround, force esbuild to version 0.24.0 worked for me.
npm i -D esbuild@0.24.0

Going to close the issue since this isn't an Astro issue. You can follow the upstream issue.

Facing same issue ^

On astro project level, can address the problem temporarily by overriding the version.

I couldn't override version of esbuild using npm (10.9.0)
I had to switch to using pnpm (9.15.1) package manager to override the esbuild dependency version to 0.24.0

"pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "esbuild": "0.24.0"
    }
  }
