Clean clone compress does not work: '../build/manifest.json' not found.

[conanbatt]

• Clone project
• npm install
• npm run build
• npm run compress

fails silently

Upon inspecting, the promise fails when the crx dependency cant resolve the manifest.json within the build folder, even though the file exists.

I had the same error when i tried to load the root into chrome, when i should have just done the dev folder.

I installed path and changed the crx.load call in compress.js to this:
crx.load(path.join(__dirname, '../build'))

Also added some console logs and try/catches to see what is the script is actually doing.

Hope it helps!
