npm start gets errors - Githubissues

My teammate and I both tried npm install and npm start so we could look at the heuristics, but we both got errors. We're both on Mac OSX 10.12.5. My npm and node versions are listed at the bottom. My teammate tried other versions with no luck. Thank you!

Hey Lisa, Looks like the 'dist' folder wasn't present - I've pushed up a couple of changes which should fix that:

git pull origin master
npm start

Hi Joe, so now I have a dist folder, but I still get the error. Hmm.

I believe I've managed to fix the problem in https://github.com/julianharty/testing-heuristics/commit/e63661c845ec31e56ba7527aed9930e7a3c8e0d6

The 'clean' step was returning an error paradoxically because there was nothing to clean on a fresh installation of the code. I changed the bash operator (from && to ; which simply applies each command in sequence, and then added || true which causes the command to 'pass' regardless of whether the individual steps returned errors (because they didn't delete anything).

I've tested a fresh installation works as follows

git clone https://github.com/julianharty/testing-heuristics.git new
cd new
npm install
npm run start
ls -lart dist
ls -lart dist/A
open dist/index.html

open launches the default browser on OSX. I think it'll do likewise on *nix systems. It's unlikely to work on Windows unless the bash shell is installed.
