On windows, the react-scripts module is not found when running yarn-start

[truedat101]

This requires some investigation:

Using node 16, npm 8.1.2

from the ui directory:

$ yarn start
yarn run v1.22.17
$ react-scripts start
'react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

Apparently this is a common problem on windows.

I found no useful help on the windows question. FB closes issues quickly and react-scripts is a part of the larger create react app project.

You can run the script as follows:

• node node_modules/react-scripts/scripts/start.js
• node_modules/.bin/react-script start

I'll document this. I still have some bugs running on windows but I'm not going to worry about it for now.
