Manually installing metro-config resolved my issue. Give that a shot if you haven't already.

@kevinvangelder Is this still an issue in the current version of ignite?

[joshuayoes]

There has been a lot of changes since this issue last had activity. We have release a new major version of Ignite, codenamed Maverick. This is going to be closed for now, but please re-open if this still needs attention.
