Windows 10 clean install startup issue - Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

See original GitHub issue

This was tested on the newest version of react-firebase-starter.
I have tried installing this on a Windows 10 PC and Laptop and both have the same issue, so I thought others may be seeing this. (One had firebase credentials set, other did not)

On Windows 10 after doing:

yarn install
yarn relay // <- works and compiles fine
yarn start

it gives the following error:

λ yarn start
yarn run v1.3.2
$ react-app start
C:\Projects\myiworlds\react-firebase-starter\node_modules\react-scripts\config\webpack.config.dev.js:100
      process.env.NODE_PATH.split(path.delimiter).filter(Boolean)
                            ^

@DaveyEdwards I was able to work around this by adding NODE_PATH environmental variables to both my local Windows machine and the .env file.

Windows: NODE_PATH=%AppData%\npm\node_modules

.env NODE_PATH=./

So far I haven’t had any issues with the starter kit base code but I’m just starting to implement features so we’ll keep ya posted. Hope this helps!

@koistya maybe we should make a note on the readme for Windows users to see this issue?
