'npm start' is stuck on 'Starting the development server ...' after create-react

Time:07-29

I am starting to learn react. And following the tutorials, the first thing I do is create a react app using 'create-react-app'.

Though, it gave me a few high-severity vulnerabilities pasted below-

Creating a new React app in /Users/girishtiwale/Dropbox/#Girish/My_Workspace/react_practice/new-app.

Success! Created new-app at /Users/girishtiwale/Dropbox/#Girish/My_Workspace/react_practice/new-app
Inside that directory, you can run several commands:

  npm start
    Starts the development server.

  npm run build
    Bundles the app into static files for production.

  npm test
    Starts the test runner.

  npm run eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd new-app
  npm start

Happy hacking!

But when I don 'npm start', the console displays 'Starting the development server ...', it opens a browser tab with localhost:3000 automatically, and then nothing happens...

Here is a Screenshot

CodePudding user response:

wait till the end of process started. Take some time. Two ways could be later - error or happy start. In case of error share the error first. Check the console

CodePudding user response:

Are you using npx create-react-app <name-of-your-app> to create the app?

If so maybe use npm run start to start your application it should be located in your package.json section example is:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production node server.js",
    "lint": "next lint"
  },

so in this case you would run npm run "dev" as npm run dev

CodePudding user response:

Maybe you forgot to go inside the folder before 'npm start'.

As it says, you have to:

cd new-app
npm start

CodePudding user response:

can you tell us what is written in your scripts in package.json this should be something like this

  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

and what is your node version?
