Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

Not able to load the web part in local host or SPO workbench.
I think I followed instructions properly but I keep getting gulp serve not running.

Steps I followed:

1. forked a copy of the repo
2. opened sp-dev-fx-controls-react folder in vscode
3. npm install
4. npm install @pnp/spfx-controls-react@next --save
5. tried modifying package.json per this post .
6. gulp serve (also tried --nobrowser)
7. did not get any errors while it was building.
8. got error message below.
9. then also tried updating the package-lock.json file with the same thing.
10. Just to be sure I didn't have a PC issue, I pulled up another project, gulp served it this project loaded and worked just fine.

Observed Behavior

When refreshing the workbench on my site, I got this error message:
Your web part will not appear in the toolbox. Please make sure "gulp serve" is running in a web part project. Please refresh the page once "gulp serve" is running.

Thanks for any guidance in what I missed!

Hi @mikezimm
May it be related to this one?

Hi @AJIXuMuK , Thanks! That did work!

More specifically to summarize:
I had the dev entry in package.json to be this (last line set NODE....):

  "scripts": {
    "build": "gulp bundle",
    "clean": "gulp clean",
    "test": "gulp test",
    "dev" : "set NODE_NO_HTTP2=1&& gulp serve"
  },

Then to run I had to type
npm run dev

All works! Thanks again for the help!
