I am doing the docker course and currently, I am doing the 11- Sharing the Source Code with a Container in Working with Containers section.

I did the same thing as Mosh did docker run -d -p 5001:3000 -v $(pwd):/app react-app, however I got sh: react-scripts: not found error and saying my node\_modules is missing. So I can not start my container, anyone has this problem?

I am wondering did I do something wrong? why I cannot get the same result as Mosh any help please.

Hi Andy,

Check if the **node\_modules** folder exists on **pwd** folder.

If didn’t work:

1. Which OS did you installed Docker?
2. Could you send the container log?

> docker logs -f \<container\_id\>

I’ve just solve a problem with this same lesson. In one of many tries I think I got this error, and I am using Windows 10.

I had the same issue, that’s because some packages are missing from the dev machine. Just perform `npm install` on your dev directory and that should solve it.

Hello,

I just encountered the same problem as @andysong666  
@leandro.mana, I’m using ubuntu 20.04 and here is my container log :

> react-app@0.1.0 start /app  
> react-scripts start
> 
> sh: react-scripts: not found  
> npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE  
> npm ERR! syscall spawn  
> npm ERR! file sh  
> npm ERR! errno ENOENT  
> npm ERR! react-app@0.1.0 start: `react-scripts start`  
> npm ERR! spawn ENOENT  
> npm ERR!  
> npm ERR! Failed at the react-app@0.1.0 start script.  
> npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.  
> npm WARN Local package.json exists, but node\_modules missing, did you mean to install?
