Looks like there was an error with the start script for [email protected]

I am facing an error in my React application's client side directory where node_modules are installed. The app was working fine until 2 weeks ago, but now when I try to run 'npm start', it fails to launch. The error message in the terminal is related to the [email protected] start script.

The error mentions a missing file 'index.html', which I never used in my project since its creation. No changes have been made to any directories or files from the initial setup, and no modifications were done to the front-end code since the last successful run two weeks ago.

This is my first time posting on stackoverflow, so any suggestions on how to ask a more descriptive question would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Resolved the problem successfully.

The public folder and its 'index.html' file were inadvertently relocated to a different directory, causing issues when running the react-script start command as it required the presence of the public/index.html file. Fortunately, I managed to locate a copy of the misplaced file in my GitHub repository tree.
