Error on npm start

[realadeel]

After npm install, npm start causes an error. Similar to #325 but I'm on the latest node and npm.

I'm seeing this error on the latest node and npm.

Just out of curiosity, could you try cloning the latest version of master and see if that works?

[realadeel]

I actually did that first (cloned master) and got the same issue.

[dvdzkwsk]

Hm, just installed matching node/npm versions as you, reinstalled, and couldn't reproduce. I'll be a bit busy the next few days due to the holidays, but will try to dig deeper into this when I get some time. Sorry for the troubles.

More info, on closer inspection of npm install, it did not complete completely successfully:

Thanks for checking on this during the holidays - happy holidays!

Just some more info, looks like it is looking for node_modules/.staging/xxxx/package.json
I verified it exists through most of the install but the .staging directory disappears at some point.

I'm far from an npm expert, but what if you clear your node_modules, run npm cache clean, and then retry? Digging through npm issues right now, since this doesn't appear to be related to this project.

[realadeel]

npm cache clean before installing worked. Closing! Thank you!!
Hope this helps someone else. This issue was indeed unrelated to this project.
