npm start fails after creating a brand new application

[amirmi]

needed to npm install history
(Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'warning' in /Users/Amir/development/a/the-best-app-ever/node_modules/history/lib)

and prompt
(Error: Cannot find module 'node_modules/react-project/node_modules/prompt/node_modules/winston/lib/winston/transports/console'.)

in order to make it start... where is the generator package.json? I would have pushed a fix :)

[cafreeman]

Any chance this is related to a bigger problem? I have a generator I built for mobx and ran into the exact same this. Generated apps just fine a few days ago, now suddenly the dev server won't serve anything up immediately after creating the project.

I wonder if one of our common dependencies (I suspect HtmlPlugin in mine) could be the culprit

I tried an install and got this
