It is a bug with "react-scripts’: “3.3.0”. Switch to 3.2.0 by editing package.json file then running npm install. Worked for me.
You’re a savior man. Thank you. I was struggling with this issue for last few weeks and had no idea the solution was this simple. It worked 👍👍
I can make a PR when they fix it in
open. Try to pin open to 6.4.0 in your project package.json and see if that helps for now?Okay, guys. I found the bug itself. To leave react-scripts: 3.3.0, just go to node_modules -> open -> index.js and delete the target redefinition under the win32 || isWsl section of the code like this.
