Freecodecamp：我被困在使用 NPM 管理包

Question

I am on freeCodecCamp, have reachedthis challenge . I have completed installing NPM, started a project and installed a module too, but I am stuck at NPM TEST which says:

Now you've installed something, and used npm ls to show what's going on. If you look at the package.json file, it has this rather odd bit in it:

"scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},

npm can be used as a task runner, and almost every module and project will have a test script that runs to make sure everything is good. In order to help remind you to do this, npm puts a "always failing" test in there by default.

First, create a file called test.js . It doesn't have to do anything, really. (This is npm class, not testing class.) But it has to exit without throwing an error, or else the test fails.

Then, edit your package.json file to make your scripts section look like this instead:

"scripts": {
  "test": "node test.js"
},

Once that's done, run how-to-nom verify to check your work.

I tried couple of things I got online to create test.js , but I am not sure how to proceed further.

All you have to do is create an empty test.js file and edit your package.json file. Chances are you missed this step.

In order to pass the test, you need to update the echo \\"Error: no test specified\\" && exit 1 line with node test.js . As it is an empty file, it won't throw any error and once you run the how-to-npm verify command it will pass.
