Describe the Bug

When I create a index.astro component, that ONLY includes a <script> tag, the script won't render/be included in the output at all.

This will not work:

<script>
  console.log("HELLO");
</script>

However, as soon as I put anything else into the component (e.g. a div or h1) it will render and run the script.

This will work:

<script>
  console.log("HELLO");
</script>
<h1></h1>
