"sh: 1: react-scripts: not found" In Docker

Question

I have a Docker container that fails to do a npm install for a react.js app that is cloned in the container when it is built. Would anybody know how to resolve the issue?

Error:

sh: 1: react-scripts: not found
npm ERR! file sh

I have a similar issue and I managed to work around by changing:

"start: "react-scripts start"

to:

"start: "./node_modules/.bin/react-scripts start"

in the scripts section package.json .

I use the classic node base image but it should work more or less the same.
And I am still investigating why NPM is not able to resolve react-scripts when running inside Docker, any further help is very welcome :-)

This happened to me when 'react-scripts' was listed under the 'devDependencies' in the package.json file. Moving it to the "dependencies" section solved the issue.

在构建容器之前删除package-lock.json并使用npm install重新安装包为我解决了这个问题。

Answer 4

Ok, I just managed to solve this problem in few simple steps, and i hope these instructions will help you too.

I run a docker with Ubuntu on Windows 10, and I share the node_modules folder by volume if this sounds familiar to you, so I believe this solution will help you. Accidentally I installed the node modules from my Windows user, and that what cause the whole permissions problems.

So what I did is to delete the node_modules directory. Then I installed the node modules from the Ubuntu Terminal, run npm install .

You may have to install npm on your Ubuntu, I downloaded the nvm installation file with curl with those instructions, How to install node on WSL for Linux , and then you may run npm install and then the react script will be able to run.

After you run npm install from Ubuntu, build and run your dockers.

Answer 5

I had this same problem recently and I was able to solve it, however, I don't like the solution very much but I think it's OK since it should run in Docker or in you local machine. That being said, my suggestion is to update the package.json with the following:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "$(npm bin)/react-scripts start",
  }
}

I had this issue with react-scripts@4.0.1. I uninstalled and re-installed and that seemed to do the trick.

1. npm uninstall react-scripts
2. npm install -D react-scripts
