WordPress npm run build and start only outputs wp-scripts start but does nothing

I’ve managed to pull and get it to run as I would expect.

$ npm run start:random-game

> [email protected] start:random-game C:\Users\...\game-review-block
> wp-scripts start blocks/random-game/src/index.js --output-path=blocks/random-game/build/

I’d try the following

  1. rm -rf node_modules
  2. npm install --save-dev

If the above doesn’t work check your node version – I use a node version manager that allows switching between versions seamlessly.
