Unable to start the development server

[mrsmartpants]

npm start gives webpack -d && <node server.js&> was unexpected in windows error

I removed optional dependency specific to OSX - fsevents and now getting the above error.

Hi @mrsmartpants , sorry but I haven't had chance to run the code on Windows. I will try to run it on Windows and get back to you.

Hi @pratyushmittal , did you get a chance to run this on windows? I cant seem to figure out the error. I can provide you the console output if it is required.

Hi @pratyushmittal, I just remove '&' from the next line (at the end), and work for me:

"prestart": "webpack -d && (node server.js)",

I hope that work for you too!

Tavito.-

@tavito it works also "node server.js" will start the port, and can accept requests and bundle with webpack later.

Thanks @tavito for providing the workaround.

Thanks @katemamba for confirming.
