🐛 Rollback esbuild to 0.13.6

[rsimha]

Install is broken for 0.13.9 on node 16. See evanw/esbuild#1711

I just saw this PR via the link-back but I can't reproduce the problem. Do you have any more information or insight? It's unclear why esbuild-darwin-64 is not installed since it's a dependency of the esbuild package, so it should have been installed.

Hi @evanw, thanks for checking in, and nice to meet you 😃

Our project uses the LTS version of node which means we switched from node v14 / npm v6 to the new LTS release node v16 / npm v8. We noticed that a clean install of esbuild in our project started failing soon as the new LTS version was rolled out. Some of us had luck attempting the install a second time, while others didn't.

My suspicion is this is due to how npm v8 is interacting with the esbuild install script (maybe there's a race?), but I'm not 100% sure.

Update: The install issue appears to have gone away today, which leads me to believe it was a temporary npm issue. (Related to the node 16 / npm 8 LTS release?)

I've rolled forward to 0.13.9 via #36615. Clean install worked locally.
