const app = express()

app.use(morgan('combined'))
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(cors())

require('./routes')(app)

sequelize.sync().then(() => {
  app.listen(config.port)
  console.log(`Serverstarted on port ${config.port}`)
})

if your package.json is in the same DIR with app.js then you need to remove "scr/" just leave app.js there — Karl L, Aug 19 '20 at 12:56
no package.json is in main folder and src is subfolder where app.js file is saved — Shadow, Aug 19 '20 at 12:58
for me I was not into the root directory of the app, and ran the cmd from outside. — Aditya Rajgor, Jul 17 '22 at 15:59

I think you there is a typo somewhere in your code where you imported 'app' as /scr/app instead of src/app

Faced this while using #vuejs and the fix for me was to delete the package.lock.json file and the node_modules folder. Then I ran npm i and then npm run serve worked well
