Missing webpack-stats on setup?

[nathanmsmith]

Tried setting up Kerckhoff for the first time and I got this error after running docker-compose up:

I noticed that webpack-stats.json is in both .gitignore and .dockerignore. I'm not familiar with it, but I would assume that it needs to be autogenerated by webpack? Why then was it not autogenerated on my machine during setup? I'm guessing what's happening is it's looking for webpack-stats.json before webpack runs?

we changed the way we build frontend on dev cos its causing a lot of problems between osx/windows - so this is no longer automated but instead you'll need to run npm run watch locally to build the package dependencies. For production it is still built automatically

[nathanmsmith]

So run npm run watch before docker-compose up?

[hongee]

you can run it whenever - once that's ran the error will disappear

[nathanmsmith]

Do the node_modules need to be installed locally also, i.e., do I need to run npm install?
