I fixed this issue by installing the chart.js: 2.5.0 dependency. The issue with my code is that I was using react-chartjs-2 dependency and in order to use it, I needed to install chart.js.

Note that I had to install it manually. npm i wasn't working. Hope it helps.

running

npm install --cache /tmp/empty-cache

Solves the problem for me.

I faced the same problem. Then I was importing a package that I didn't yet install. So make sure you have installed all the packages that you are using in the import statements at the top of your React component.

I had the same problem with nativscript/angular router.

Problem was bad import. I mean deep import like @nativescript/angular/router.

I changed it to @nativescript/angular because there is no more deep imports.

Maybe it is a similar problem with your react-router.

I had the same issue. You're probably working in a Linux environment. If it is so, before running the start script, you need to switch the terminal to sudo user.

This approach fixed my issue.

On Arch Linux just run:

rmdir -rf node_modules
sudo pacman -S npm
npm install -g semver
sudo pacman -Sy node-gyp

Delete all node_modules and check npmrc file whether it's there in C:\Users<username> folder or not. If not, then create it and again do npm install followed by npm cache clean and npm run start.

I am using Yarn rather than npm

  1. Delete the node_modules folder
  2. yarn add
  3. npm cache verify
