If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

Given the following code:

<script>
    console.log("hi!")
</script>

nothing happens. If you add a div:

<script>
    console.log("hi!")
</script>
<div />

then it suddenly runs in console.

What's the expected result?

The script should run even without other tags present.

The script tag runs without any elements. But we have to use is:inline in script tag

<script is:inline> console.log("hi!") </script>

this works and got "hi!" in console

Looks like in the compiler we need to emit ${$$maybeRenderHead($$result)} so the render would attach the script here. The additional <div/> in the repo triggered adding ${$$maybeRenderHead($$result)} which made it work.

@bluwy do you plan on working on this?

Not yet. Feel free to take it!

One of the tests I broke pointed me to this PR.

It seems like this behavior was introduced intentionally.
