A project breaks at startup and build when using "source" in package.json

🐛 bug report

A project breaks at startup and build if the source file(e.g. index.html) is specified using property source in package.json.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

Project structure:

outer-dir/
├─ example/
│  ├─ public/
│  │  ├─ mainfest.json
│  ├─ src/
│  │  ├─ index.html
│  ├─ package.json
│  ├─ yarn.lock
├─ yarn.lock

package.json:

{
  ...
  "source": "src/index.html",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "parcel",
    "build": "parcel build"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@parcel/transformer-webmanifest": "2.3.2",
    "parcel": "^2.3.2",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

🤔 Expected Behavior

Commands parcel and parcel build run without error.

😯 Current Behavior

To process manifest.json, Parcel needs @parcel/transformer-webmanifest that it cannot find and crashes with an error. The same happens with other packages needed to run or build a project. It seems that Parcel finds the most top-level yarn.lock and tries to resolve node_modules there.

💁 Possible Solution

I assume that somewhere in the code there is an error due to which the collector is looking not for the first package.json, but for the last.

🔦 Context

I caught this error completely by accident and had absolutely no idea that I might have yarn.lock up the tree that somehow got there.

💻 Code Sample

Here is a repository with an example to reproduce the issue.

🌍 Your Environment

@Shinyaigeek It seems to me that the above bug was not fixed in the task #7537. I caught the bug in the newest available version 2.3.2.
