node\r: No such file or directory

[RobertSasak]

I get a following error when running start. I found similar issue which is related to UTF encoding. darkguy2008/parallelshell#58

$ npm start

> testProject@0.1.0 start /Users/robert/Documents/GitLab/testProject
> react-scripts start

App starts when I install react-scripts as a global package and run it from console.

yarn global add react-scripts
react-scripts start

Hi @RobertSasak ,

Do you have the same issue with the original Create React App project?

[RobertSasak]

No, I can run $ npx create-react-app test-app without any problem. Are you by any chance working on Windows?

[TarikHuber]

Yes. I'm working on windows. I think someone else had a similar issue. I think it's the same cause: ecronix/react-most-wanted#38

[RobertSasak]

I found the problem. It is related to npm/npm#12371 .

I fixed it by opening node_modules/rmw-react-scripts/bin/react-scripts.js in VS Code and clicked in the bottom toolbar on CRLF and switch it to LF.

After this change I was able to run yarn start.

It has something to do with how the first line is ended.

#!/usr/bin/env node

On MacOS return \r is consired as a part of program name "node\r".
