react-scripts start error (Cannot find module '../scripts/start') - how can i fix this?

Question

I'm getting 'Error: Cannot find module '../scripts/start' from projects set up using create-react-app that previously worked fine, now when i run 'npm start' i'm getting this error - the only workaround seems to be rm -rf node_modules followed by npm install, but next day I run into the same problem. Any ideas how to fix this please (see full error message below) - thanks.

>react-scripts start

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

package.json:

    "start":"react-scripts start",

    "jest":"^24.0.0",
    "json-server":"^0.12.2",
    "react-scripts":"^1.1.4"
  }
}

add .js to the end of the ../scripts/start

How does your package.json look like?

I had the exact same issue and I did the following:

Delete node_modules folder
Run npm install

It fixed my issue, but what it caused, I don't know.

According to another stackoverflow question, it appears that node_modules would not be override thoroughly when npm install is called again. So yeah, although the cause is still unknown, this is probably the best bet.
