How to trigger setup a npm script to build a bundle with rollup?

Hi, I am trying to import this repo into glitch, to do some paired programming:

I tried adding a “start” script as

“start”: “rollup -c”

but it goes into an infinite loop apparently, because of the public/bundle.js being written.

what to do? Is there any documentation around what-triggers-what in the glitch container?

I think your build command is working well, you’ll need to execute it manually from the console each time you want to build.

For the start script, what I see on the package.json file is the command serve, that uses ws to serve the public folder.

Also, seems like you need a higher node version since the app requires v7.6.0 or above.

Here’s a package.json code you can copy and paste to your project to get it running.
