npm run scripts does not working

Question

I have just initialized a new project with Node.js and trying making the scripts in package.json file to be working.

For example I have the next package.json file:

{
  "name": "my-app-name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Description server",
  "main": "app.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node app.js"
  },
  "author": "Something LTD",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.18.3",
    "cron": "^1.3.0",
    "crypto": "^1.0.1",
    "docusaurus-init": "^1.0.2",
    "exceljs": "^1.5.0",
    "express": "^4.16.3",
    "express-limiter": "^1.6.1",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^8.3.0",
    "mongojs": "^2.6.0",
    "npm": "^6.1.0",
    "point-in-polygon": "^1.0.1",
    "request": "^2.87.0",
    "socket.io": "^2.1.1",
    "socket.io-redis": "^5.2.0",
    "xmldom": "^0.1.27"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "t4u": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

Then I either trying run npm test or npm start or npm run start but all of them just doing nothing and returns nothing in console. Even the test script just not printing anything.

I have tried to do:

npm config set --ignore-scripts false

However that did not work.

Answer 1

npm config set ignore-scripts false

Was solved the issue.

Answer 2

npm run-script start worked for me (npm run is an alias to npm run-script as stated in doc but not sure why alias didnt work)

hope this helps people who are still facing the issue after setting ignore-script as false
