create-react-app: React App Compilation failing due to missing eslint cache file

Can you reproduce the problem with latest npm?

Yes

Description

React app compilation is periodically / intermittently failing with the error due to a change in eslint-caching as per #1578. A cache file is missing in the node_modules directory

Expected behavior

App should compile with no errors

Actual behavior

The create-react-scripts throw the following error when compiling on file change:

Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/app/client/node_modules/.cache/eslint-loader/data.json'

On closer inspection this seems to happen when I rename / add a new file. However it happens so randomly it has been difficult to pin down.

Environment

Run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

1. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected):

npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@4.1.2
npm info using node@v7.6.0
client@0.1.0 /app/client
`-- react-scripts@0.9.2

npm info ok

1. node -v:

v7.6.0

1. npm -v:

4.1.2

1. Operating system: OSX running Docker Image: https://hub.docker.com/r/dylanrhysscott/docker-react-dev/ which is based off of official node images

2. Browser and version: Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)

Ping @Timer - Here’s the issue. I can’t provide my project as its on a private Git server internally but will do all I can to help troubleshoot. Hope this helps!
