Troubleshooting Deployment Issues: /bin/sh: 1: react-scripts: not found

Hello Render Community,

I’ve encountered a persistent issue when deploying my React application with a web service. The deployment process consistently fails, returning the following error message: /bin/sh: 1: react-scripts: not found. Interestingly, this problem does not occur when I deploy the app as a static site, which leads me to believe that the issue lies within the web services workflow.

Here’s the package.json for reference:

  "version": "0.1.0",

Hi,

react-scripts isn’t found as you don’t appear to have installed your dependencies, e.g.

yarn && yarn build

If this is just a React app we have an example guide to deploy a React App to a Render Static Site, which is often the best service type for them: https://render.com/docs/deploy-create-react-app
