I built a small react app using the create-react-app boiler plate. When serving the content with npm run everything works fine.
But now I tried running the builder for the first time because I am at a point where I would like to show a demo. I tried running npm run build but it errors out. Here is the npm log:
0 info it worked if it ends with ok

15 error enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
15 error enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.
16 verbose exit [ -2, true ]
It appears that it is looking for a package.json outside of my development folder? Any hint how to get the builder to run?
Thank you.
I think you may be in the wrong folder because of this line in your error
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/falks/package.json'You need to run that command from the same folder that the package.json file is - typically the root folder of your project... it looks like you are trying to run it from your home folder.
