I am pretty new to this and pretty lost as well. I believe I switched up a lot of things which has me facing this problem at the moment. Ultimately, I am just trying to npm run build my React.js project so I could deploy it. But I run npm run build and I see this error:
my-blog git:(main) ✗ npm run build
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /Users/rondon/code/my-blog/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/rondon/code/my-blog/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/rondon/.npm/_logs/2022-01-22T05_37_12_010Z-debug.log
What I understood from this is that I need to make a package.json file so I did that in my "my-blog" directory by running npm init. Cool, I do that and now I have a new package.json file in "my-blog" and I manually put in a "build": "react-scripts build" so I can run npm run build without getting an error saying I am missing a build script. This is how that package.json file looks now:
{
"name": "my-blog",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"build": "react-scripts build"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/rmera1026/my-blog.git"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"bugs": {
"url": "https://github.com/rmera1026/my-blog/issues"
},
"homepage": "https://github.com/rmera1026/my-blog#readme"
}
I npm run build again and now get this:
my-blog git:(main) ✗ npm run build
> my-blog@1.0.0 build
> react-scripts build
sh: react-scripts: command not found
Lastly, I think I am having this problem because of how my file might be set up as well so here are how things are looking.
Your my-blog project has 2 directories. One is api, another one is client.
You have to build in your client directory, but you're outside of it. Change your directory to client and run npm run build
cd client && npm run build
