I started a new Glitch project as a remix of the starter-react-template simply to test my skills with React. All was well for as long as I worked on it (about 2 or 3 hours), then I logged off of Glitch. I came back a few hours later as I wanted to show someone my project only to find that my app was not functioning! I see the following message:
failed to start application on counter-app-react.glitch.me
This is most likely because your project has a code error.
Check your project logs, fix the error and try again.
This message confused me, as I had made no changes and everything was working earlier. Then, I checked my logs and I found this error:
WARN Moving react that was installed by a different package manager to "node_modules/.ignored
ERROR ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rename '/rbd/pnpm-volume/6a0ce0db-cf71-4731-b0db-69533952944c/node_modules/react' -> '/rbd/pnpm-volume/6a0ce0db-cf71-4731-b0db-69533952944c/node_modules/.ignored/react'
I’m not sure why this happened, but it did nonetheless! So, I got to researching. During this period, I found a similar topic involving discord.js. That can be found here. Their error message, similarly, stated the following:
node v10.16.3, with pnpm
Installing...

I have no idea what is going on, but I scrolled to the bottom of this topic to find this message:
Could you try starting up your bot now and see if everything works!
The problem was that you hadnodelisted as a dependency, so I removed it then ranrm -rf shrinkwrap.yaml rm -rf node_modules enable-pnpmthen I let the install proceed and I saw no errors that time!
I used the code provided, and deleted both shrinkwrap.yaml and the more notable node_modules from the first error. This only brought more errors, of course, as I now had no connection to any packages listed in node_modules! So, I found a Stack Overflow post that mentioned using npm install to re-install a missing node_modules folder. I have no idea what I installed, but I did not get a node_modules folder from the looks of it!
As my adventures come to an end, I then decided to copy/paste all of my code over to a new starter-react-template project, only to get the same errors! My most recent error messages (from BOTH projects) are as follows…

Also note that I am using Bootstrap, so when I created the new project, I also used NPM to re-install react-bootstrap using:
npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap
However, I did not see any Bootstrap dependencies in my package.json. So that is also weird.
Anyway, I’m really at a loss here, so any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance.
