Why is npm start (after create-react-app) failing to run?












6















After I create a sample react app using create-react-app, npm start fails.



I have tried this using node 11.4 and 10.4 (npm 6.4.1)



>npm install create-react-app -g
>create-react-app t2
>cd t2
>npm start


expected: to be able to start simple react server to hit in browser at localhost:3000



actual: server did not start, got this in my terminal
Salvatores-iMac:t2 samr$ npm start




t2@0.1.0 start /Users/samr/dev/githubs/react/t2
react-scripts start




/Users/samr/dev/githubs/react/t2/node_modules/ajv/lib/keyword.js:65
throw new Error('custom keyword definition is invalid: ' + this.errorsText(validateDefinition.errors));
^

Quick fix is mentioned here https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/8768



Essentially go to node_modules/ajv/lib/keyword.js and comment out lines 64 and 65.

As @atsnam has said, you can find the resolution here https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/8768.



If you use yarn



add below to package.json



"resolutions": {
"ajv": "6.8.1"
}


then run yarn install



if you use npm



npm uninstall ajv
npm install ajv@6.8.1


That worked for me

    I'm running into this as well. Npm start worked fine for me for an app I created last night, but today I tried to use create-react-app for a new project, and in the new project npm start is not working for me.



    Copying over my node_modules folder from my previous app did help as a temporary workaround, but once I tried installing react router into my new app and then running npm start, I'm running into this error once again.

      same here, maybe you can check this https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/8768, changing the file in file node_modulesajv-errorsindex.js as someone says here solved it for now as a quick fix

        As per the suggestion in Github answers the below change has enabled me to work.



        To fix this error, just change:
        Line 14: `errors: 'full',`
        to:
        Line 14: `errors: true`
        in file **node_modulesajv-errorsindex.js**

          I am getting the same error
          this worked for me



          just add



            "resolutions": {
          "ajv": "6.8.1"
          }


          to your package.json



          if you use yarn:
          run yarn install

          • I added this, did the npm install, but npm start still fails the same way.

                                          Thank you for your interest in this question.
                                          Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
