npm run package: Cannot find module ../dist

I'm trying to package a new electron app I'm building and I'm getting the following error:

macOS Sierra
node: 3.10.7
npm: v6.6.0

# npm run package

What is inside of ../dist? Does it exist?

[erikcw]

It's not any of my code. Looks like it's part of electron-react-boilerplate.

✗ ag '../dist'
app/app.html
11:        link.href = '../dist/style.css';
22:        script.src = (process.env.HOT) ? `http://localhost:${port}/dist/bundle.js` : '../dist/bundle.js';

dist is generated by the boilerplate. I would recommend checking out our installation debugging solutions.

[amilajack]

Did the solutions end up helping?

[erikcw]

Yes it did! Thank you!

[amilajack]

Great! Which solution helped you? This repo has a lot of installation failures so it any kind of feedback is really helpful. Thanks!

[erikcw]

Clearing the cache did the trick. Maybe package also those commands into a "fixit" script?

[amilajack]

That would be a bit difficult. There are different solutions for each OS. Most of the installation issues are OS specific.

Awesome @amilajack, I can confirm this worked for me as well. Thanks!
