Unable to build react app using npm run build - Exit status 1

Question

I have created a react app using create-react-app, and when I first tried to build it using npm run build, it was working fine. However, after a couple of days of developing when I try to run the same command, I'm facing the following issue.

0 info it worked if it ends with ok

I've have been looking around in StackOverflow but I can't seem to find anything similar to my problem. Usually there is some kind of specific error message, but I can't see it.

Here is my package.json:

Solution

you can use this code in your package.json

"scripts": { "start": "react-scripts start", "build": "react-scripts --max_old_space_size=4096 build", "test": "react-scripts test", "precommit": "lint-staged" },

it didn't help me... any other solution?

So strange, I checked and I had react-scripts folder in node_modules, and yet react-scripts build was failing. But then I run the above script and after that install it started to work. So I am not sure why. Anyway, it help me.
