Watch mode not working on Ubuntu

[laurentpayot]

Watch mode issue #21 was closed but using the following example from the docs

require('esbuild').build({
  entryPoints: ['app.js'],
  outfile: 'out.js',
  bundle: true,
  watch: {
    onRebuild(error, result) {
      if (error) console.error('watch build failed:', error)
      else console.error('watch build succeeded:', result)
    },
  },
})

with

// app.js
console.log("Hello!")

I get the following error:

watch build failed: Error: The service was stopped
    at Socket.afterClose (/home/laurent/projects/myproject/node_modules/esbuild/lib/main.js:526:18)
    at Socket.emit (node:events:388:22)
    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1294:12)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:80:21)

Without the watch option the output is generated without problem.

I'm using node 15.3.0 on my Ubuntu 20.10 PC.

I'm guessing this is a duplicate of #730. Hopefully the problem is already fixed in the latest version that was just released. What version of esbuild are you using? The latest version is 0.8.39.

Oops yes looks like it's a duplicate of #730. I was using version 0.8.38. Just installed esbuild@0.8.39 and it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
