Comment (by pbearne):

 The code has a test for file exist for the js but not for the PHP file so
 if the npm build:dev or main build has not been run correctly it errors (
 as seen in the errors above)

 I wonder if it would not be better to test for the PHP file and not the JS
 as the PHP file is created if the JS is there ( this is less expensive
 than testing for both )

 We should/could throw an error message if we are missing a PHP file
 instructing the DEV to run  npm build:dev
