Why won't Hydrogen run in dev mode due to ENOENT error?

Technical Q&A
1

If try to run in dev mode I get this error (username edited out of path):

error ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir ‘c:\c:\Users******\hydrogen\gh- │
[email removed]
To investigate the issue, examine this stack trace:
at Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir
'c:\c:\Users*****\hydrogen\gh-demo\node_modules\

The appears to be the "c:\c:" at the beginning of the path which probably should just be "c:"

I can successfully launch in preview mode.

I had other issues and had to manually place the templates folders in the npm cache when trying to reinstall hydrogen with:

npm init @Shopify_77 [email removed]

to install hydrogen.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

What I had to do to fix the error was to go to the c:\c:\Users******\hydrogen\gh- │
demo\node_modules@shopify\cli-hydrogen\dist\virtual-routes\routes’ location and realized there was no routes folder in virtual-routes. I added a routes folder and boom, the error is gone.
