Answer 1

NOTE: if you are experiencing this issue in your CI pipeline, it is usually because npm runs npm ci instead of npm install. npm ci requires an accurate package-lock.json.

To fix this, whenever you are modifying packages in package.json (e.g. moving packages from devDependencies to Dependencies like I was doing) you should regenerate package-lock.json in your repository by running these commands locally, and then push the changes upstream:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
git commit package-lock.json
git push

Answer 2

Make sure you are on the right directory where you have package.json

Answer 3

Run command - npm init No file directory found issue got resolved
