React app stuck on "Starting the development server"
I have something similar happening to me.
I have a react project that I want to convert to Typescript and I started as you noted with the "create-react-app", added all my files and hoped for the best - but got stuck like you on the “Starting the development server” message.
I have an 8GB Ram with Windows 10 and once I used the default "npm start" for the first time I've seen the node process uses a lot of memory - So I tried to give it more and at the same time I tired to change the port react uses.
-
Added this to the start script in package.json:
"scripts": { "start": "PORT=3001 react-scripts --max_old_space_size=8128 start", ... } Closed all my chrome browsers (they take pretty much memory)
- And gave it around 1 minute to run
After 1 minute it started working and from that point it just starts quickly and not uses as much memory and not depended on the port I choose
In my case - I guess the first time you run "npm start" on the React Typescript project it probably index the files (or does something similar - I'm not sure and probably need to read about it - I'm new to typescript) which take a lot of memory.
In your case - It might be something similar
Hope it helps :)
Check This Tow points
- Run npm install command before you start the server.
Then also it is not running , please try the second command
- Remove the node modules and run npm install once again.
If these two points didn't work , Please provide the screenshot for further analysis.
