I was getting this error for hours. I found it very frustrating. I ended up looking through the npm install flags and found one that did the trick --no-bin-links. For whatever reason, npm bin symlinks don’t play nice with docker for mac volumes. If you run:
npm install --no-bin-links
instead of the naked npm install, you should be fine. One more thing: any npm scripts you might have had in your package.json now require that node be referenced manually (e.g. “webpack ...” becomes “node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack ...”).
Hope that helps.
