'Error: Cannot find module 'react-dev-utils/WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin'

I have React.js application with the connection of Rust. Problem is about running the application. When I try to run npm start it return this error:

  throw err;
  ^
Error: Cannot find module 'react-dev-utils/WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin'

  ]
}

Point is it was working before and I did not change anything, but later when I try npm start it return the above error. I try to delete node_modules and package-lock.json and install again but nothing changes. Can someone please help how can I solve this problem.

It’s some kind of an npm issue out of our control. You might want to update npm to the latest (npm i -g npm@next) and maybe try deleting node_modules and running npm install again.

If it still not works then try using

npm install --save-dev react-dev-utils

or refer to this
