"sh: 1: react-scripts: not found" In Docker

Question

I have a Docker container that fails to do a npm install for a react.js app that is cloned in the container when it is built. Would anybody know how to resolve the issue?

Error:

sh: 1: react-scripts: not found
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! [email protected] build: `react-scripts build`

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

This happened to me when 'react-scripts' was listed under the 'devDependencies' in the package.json file. Moving it to the "dependencies" section solved the issue.
