My local development system is a lot less forgiving than Gitpod.
If the following function does not exist then React will not load locally displaying the following error.
setCognitoErrors("Email is invalid or cannot be found.") 
To resolve this the function needs to be renamed to setErrors. The same issue does not occur on Gitpod.
