@manavpandya I am also facing similar issue. Were u able to resolve it?

djizco commented 5 years ago

I have not been able to replicate this issue. Could you give me some information on your environment so I can fix it? My instinct is it has something to do with bash. My guess is you are using a non-unix system like windows. You likely need to use a linux bash shell to run the application.

@manavpandya and @zarmeen92

Yes indeed, bash commands do not work in Windows environment (even if you try GitBash, there is no luck), it is a common problem. I finally managed to resolve this by using cross-env. I have installed the module and then I have modified the package.json like this:

"dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development webpack --mode=development --config ./client/config/webpack.dev.config.js --watch",

It is not the most 'beautiful' or 'optimized' way, but it works.

I've added OS requirements. Haven't been able to replicate this issue on my environment so I'm pretty sure thats the issue. If this is still a problem, I'll come back to this.

You can resolve this issue for windows by updating the scripts in your package.json with windows compatible scripts instead of the bash scripts.
