> $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js

sh: /bin/splunk: No such file or directory
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! standin@1.0.0 build: `$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the standin@1.0.0 build script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/pierretardif/.npm/_logs/2019-11-07T17_16_19_159Z-debug.log

For anyone who comes across this issue I solved it in my docker container by running the following command.

sudo ln -s /opt/splunk/bin/splunk /bin/splunk

Change the first part to match your own directory that you are running Splunk
