'npm start' command doesn't do anything [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to start a react js project but the npm start command doesn't do anything. No error messages. No exceptions. Just nothing.

I already have a start script in the package.json file.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

I've also checked for missing dependencies but nothing is missing.

Is there something I'm missing here?

SOLUTION:

My npm ignore-scripts was set to true. So I set it to false and the npm start command works.

npm config set ignore-scripts false

To check if your ignore-scripts is true or false:

npm config get ignore-scripts
