npm start -s >> ERROR: "test:watch" / "lint:watch" exited with 1

Node version: 7.2 npm version: 1.3.26 Operating system: Windows_NT 10.0.14393 Command line used: npm start -s

Console error: ERROR: "lint:watch" exited with 1.

I was able to start the project editing the package.json and removing the extra – from both lines

"lint:watch": "npm run lint -- --watch",
"test:watch": "npm run test -- --watch",

Steps to reproduce: following install instructions

1. In empty folder clone the project git clone https://github.com/coryhouse/react-slingshot.git
2. npm run setup
3. Remove the GIT repository : YES
4. npm start

Yes, this appears to be a node 7+ issue on Windows. For now I would recommend using 6.9 or earlier.

Did you install a package called test? The specific error that is causing the failure is - no such file or directory, open 'C:\nodejs\projects\react-slingshot\node_modules\test\package.json'
