Situation

Hi, guys!

Just tried to init new app using this command npx create-react-app my-app.
Everything is done well, but look at this:

Few weeks ago everything goes right. Install --> cd to-my-app --> yarn/npm start --> woohoo.

Now I can't do anything. I see this message command not found with this project files:

Question

What's going on? Am I missing something, or this is a bug?

BTW: npm -v = 6.13.7
It's work using yarn create react-app my-app.

This is possibly because you have a global installation of CRA that conflicts with npx.

Try

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

and then do a

npx create-react-app my-app

Also, the yarn error is because package.json is missing the start section in scripts. See below for an example:

"scripts": {
  "start": "some command to be run", // you need to add this line
  "test": "(eslint lib || true) && jest"
}

I can confirm that even without any global install of create-react-app the NPX call is failing to create an actual react application

Node 12.6.0

npx create-react-app experimental-webclient

Contents of package.json are

{
  "name": "experimental-webclient",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^16.13.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.0",
    "react-scripts": "3.4.0"
  }
}

It is possible that there is an issue with the npm cache.

Try something like

npm cache clean --force
npm cache verify

Also check out https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache.html to read up on the npm cache commands.

@dreamchasersuon I was able to replicate the issue
It was happening for me as I had an older version of create-react-app installed globally.
Uninstalling the global package might solve the issue:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
or
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app

I can confirm that uninstalling create-react-app globally fixes this issue with npx. Thank you, guys!
Just wondering why it worked before.
