Error: Cannot find module 'chokidar' on npm start #2

Closed jatins closed 7 years ago

jatins commented 7 years ago

I replaced react-scripts in devDependencies in project created by create-react-app with "react-electron-scripts": "^0.4.2"

Running npm start results in this error.

(Did npm install before this)

npm -v 5.0.3 node -v v7.3.0 OS macOS ElCapitan

Had you already ejected before attempting this?

jatins commented 7 years ago

No, I did not eject. I just replaced react-scripts with react-electron-scripts in devDeps.

Also, update: I was able to get rid of that error by deleting the node_modules and package-lock files and doing a fresh install. (Pretty sure that's a bad idea). Not sure what was causing the error, thought. (Also, the fact that I was also experimenting with lerna makes me even less sure what was causing the issue)

Interesting. I am trying to recreate the issue and getting errors because the template isn't updating (the electron process directory isn't present in my directory, etc.). Did you run into this same issue?

jatins commented 7 years ago

Don't think I got an error like that. Also, just to be clear on how I am using react-electron-scripts:

  1. Create react app with create-react-app appName (No scripts flag)
  2. Replace react-scripts with react-electron-scripts in devDependencies.

So, I am not really using the included template.

Ooo I see, that makes more sense.
