Typescript-react-starter: npm run gives error "--watch is not supported without git/hg...ERR! code ELIFECYCLE"

npm run test gives me the error:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

change line 31 in /node_modules/react-scripts-ts/scripts/test.js

from

argv.push('--watch');

to

argv.push('--watchAll');

this should solve the problem.

@nineonine That worked. Should I close this as a problem particular to my set up or should someone submit a pull request? So I can debug myself in the future, how did you know the error was that file, and that line?

[nineonine]

@user135711 the first line of error output indicates that there is something wrong with watch/watchAll . It also mentions react-scripts-ts so I experimented and that paid off.

Running "git init", it should work. No need to change any line of code

[primaulia]

why tho @porkopek ?

Instructions should now make this explicit.
