I am having trouble running a node app with npm. When I try node server.js it will work, but when I try npm start it gives me the following error:
npm ERR! file bash
npm ERR! path bash
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn bash
npm ERR! sample-app@1.0.0 start: `node server.js`
npm ERR! spawn bash ENOENT
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the sample-app@1.0.0 start script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2018-11-01T11_57_12_947Z-debug.log
My package.json includes start script:
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "node server.js"
},
And this is my server.js file:
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.use(express.static('public'))
app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('index')
})
app.listen(3000)
I recently updated to 10.13.0 version of Node if that might be the issue? I have tried cleaning the cache already.
This is the log:
