package.json bug with npm init -y install - node.js

Question

I installed node.js for the sake of sass compiling, i havent touched any of javascript for now so all the documentation I went through to solve this problem is really complicated for me. So when i put npm init -y command in VScode terminal it installs package.json file that has a debug property between line 5 and 6.
when i click on "debug" errors that show into my terminal are these...
"Error: no test specified"
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! c#1.0.0 test: `echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the c#1.0.0 test script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
npm WARN Local package.json exists, but node_modules missing, did you mean to install?

Answer 1

VScode is giving you a quick way of running 'npm test', which is running exactly as expected. You can specify commands to run in the "scripts" property. As you can see, there is one for "test", which is outputting exactly what is written there. That is what 'debug' does. You need to hook a real test command there for debug to do anything useful.

Answer 2

That debug stuff is the output for a npm run test which you don't care about if you're only installing a package.json so you can install sass for development. If you want to be able to run tests via npm run test, change the value of the key/value pair on line 7 to run your tests.
"test": "someTestCommand.exe"
But again, if you're only doing this to get sass compiling, you can safely ignore it.
