NPM Run Watch is Not Working For React Project

Hello Im trying to use NPM Run Watch so I can see localhost:3000 for my React Project but I’m getting a weird error so I don’t even know where to begin.

   Rubens-iMac:react-redux rubenesquivel$ npm run watch

> CodingPhase-StarterKit@1.0.0 watch /Users/rubenesquivel/Dropbox/Web Development/Web Development Courses/Coding Phase/react-redux
> gulp

fs.js:45
} = primordials;
    ^

Not sure if anyone is familiar with this guy but I’m using codingphase starter package and before I did npm run watch I installed gulp I had some errors but I fixed using commands from stack over flow so Im worried maybe I did something to cause this on accident. I hope this makes sense.

Answer

Ok I figured out what was causing the issue. The main folder I put the react project in had spaces in it. For Example I had it called Calendar web app and should have called it calendar-web-app. Yeah i know this was a rookie mistake but figure ill let everyone know in case it happens to anyone else. Thanks to everyone who took the time to help out.
