Hiya! This is kind of an aside to #1606 and #2280.
Presently, the
esbuildserver process leaks memory associated with theactiveBuildand everything about it if abuild({ incremental: true })fails (rather than a rebuild from it), and there's no way for a user to recover from this.There's probably a nicer solution that involves giving the
rebuildback to the user in the thrown error, but as you've mentioned in #1606 (comment), the API gets a bit out of whack then and there's various things to ponder.A minimally correct solution — at least, one that seems strictly more correct than what we have now, and that doesn't change the API whatsoever — is to
rebuild-disposebefore calling back with the failure.
