I am trying to run a svelte project with the following command

> npm run dev

but I am getting this error

ERROR
    Invalid command: dev

  Run `$ svelte-kit --help` for more info.

svelte-kit is installed as dev dependency in my project, and my Package.json has a script defined.

{
  "name": "xyz",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite dev",
    "build": "vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview",
    "test": "vitest",
    "test:e2e": "playwright test"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@playwright/test": "^1.51.1",
    "@sveltejs/adapter-auto": "^6.0.0",
    "@sveltejs/kit": "^2.20.7",
    "@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte": "^5.0.3",
    "autoprefixer": "^10.4.21",
    "postcss": "^8.5.3",
    "prettier": "^3.5.3",
    "svelte": "^5.27.0",
    "svelte-preprocess": "^6.0.3",
    "tailwindcss": "^4.1.4",
    "typescript": "^5.8.3",
    "uuid": "^11.1.0",
    "vite": "6.2.6",
    "vitest": "^3.1.1"
  }
}

I want to know what problems I am facing. Are there any issues with the dev dependencies?

    Depends on the contents of package.json. If there's no dev field defined in "scripts" block this won't work. For a default project its vite dev, so maybe give that a go ?

    Hello @JorgeLinares , I have edited whole package.json file in the main question, please check it out.

    Thanks! Everything looks ok there actually, the new message seems to indicate some problem with your vite.config.ts, it should be looking for app.html instead of index.html as an entry module. Make sure you have it configured to use the sveltekit plugin. You mind sharing it in the question as well?

    I found the solution, it was only about importing files using path.resolve rather than simply calling them. Thanks for your time. @JorgeLinares
