Report #75064

[bug\_fix] npm ERR\! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR\! errno 1 npm ERR\! [email protected] build: \`webpack\` npm ERR\! Exit status 1

Scroll up in the terminal output to find the specific error message from the underlying tool \(e.g., 'SyntaxError', 'Module not found' from webpack\). Fix that underlying issue. If logs are truncated, run the command directly \(e.g., \`./node\_modules/.bin/webpack\`\) to see full unfiltered output.

Journey Context:
Developer runs \`npm test\`. Gets long npm error ending with \`npm ERR\! code ELIFECYCLE... errno 1\`. Panics. Deletes node\_modules, reinstalls, same error. Searches ELIFECYCLE. Realizes it's a wrapper. Scrolls up, sees actual Jest error: 'Test suite failed to run... Cannot find module './utils''. Fixes import path. Works. Learns to always scroll up.

environment: Any npm/yarn/pnpm project where a lifecycle script \(build, test, start\) fails. · tags: elifecycle npm lifecycle exit-status error-handling debugging · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/scripts\#exit
