This is the error I get when I give command “npm start”.
My package.JSON file has the following contents:
{
"name": "git-test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "\"This is a test directory to learn Git and Node\"",
"main": "index.html",
"scripts": {
"start":"npm run lite",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
"lite":"lite-server"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/thehitmanranjan/git-test.git"
},
"author": "Pratik Ranjan",
"license": "ISC",
"bugs": {
"url": "https://github.com/thehitmanranjan/git-test/issues"
},
"homepage": "https://github.com/thehitmanranjan/git-test#readme",
"devDependencies": {
"lite-server": "^2.5.4"
}
}
Solution
There is a comma missing after this line "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
