engine becomes an alias instead of a folder
by user 269689570688368642
yes thats what we want
which directory does this button open?
Into the NewTest web project folder with nested within the Needle folder, where the alias needletools is
by user 269689570688368642
thats the correct folder right?
Yes that’s the correct folder I believe, when I click start server though it runs a new install though and the alias is replaced with the incorrect engine folder

Can you check if it changes the path in dependencies in package.json? Maybe take a screenshot before (now as it is, in a correct state) and after you ran install / start server from Unity?
the package.json in “NewTest”
Maybe it builds a wrong path 
which wouldnt explain why it works when you run install again - but maybe worth to check/verify
I tried just running npm run start via terminal in the NewTest folder and it loaded the needle engine but gives the missing camera context error

ok looks pretty identical - after is again with the almost empty engine folder?
