Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

Using the New Architecture with Hermes on Windows is quite challenging at this stage. Could you follow the instructions here: https://reactnative.dev/architecture/bundled-hermes#android-users-on-new-architecture-building-on-windows and confirm if it solves your issue?

[K-Leon]

We saw the same issue and couldn't solve it by following the linked instructions. The hermesc.exe in Debug Folder exists, Release Folder is empty leading to this error. We tried it on different Windows 10 Systems.

It happens also if you ran the task directly from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompot: gradlew.bat :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:assembleRelease gradlew.bat :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:assembleDebug fails too, because it tries to link against a release hermesc.exe which obviously doesn't exist.

[aleluiah]

exactly the same issue am facing visual studio developer command prompt also failed after carefully following the linked instruction

[nibblesnbits]

Same; two errors. for debug build (npx react-native run-android):

> Task :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:buildCMakeRelease[arm64-v8a][libhermes] FAILED
C/C++: ninja: error: 'D:/git/random/MyApp/node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/hermesc.exe', needed by 'lib/InternalBytecode/InternalBytecode.hbc', missing and no known rule to make it

with gradlew.bat bundleRelease:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script 'D:\git\random\MyApp\node_modules\react-native\react.gradle' line: 126

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'.
> java.lang.Exception: Couldn't determine Hermesc location. Please set `project.ext.react.hermesCommand` to the path of the hermesc binary file. node_modules/react-native/sdks/hermesc/%OS-BIN%/hermesc

It seems the debug build is trying to depend on a release build of hermes, but an attempt at a release build assumes one already exists. 🤷

EDIT: Might be worth noting that node_modules\react-native\ReactAndroid\hermes-engine\build\hermes\bin\Debug\hermesc.exe DOES exists after npx react-native run-android, but the error message indicates that for some reason it's looking for node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/hermesc.exe, not the debug one.

[cortinico]

Thansk for the report @nibblesnbits I will look into this. To help me understand:

• Is this happening on a newly created project?
• I assume you're enablign the New Architecture in your project right?

[nibblesnbits]

Yes, it happens in a new project only after new architecture is enabled.

Same happening for me when updating my project to react native 0.69.1 with the new architecture enabled.

The consumer was configured to find an API of a component, preferably optimized for Android, as well as attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr' with value 'debug', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr' with value '7.1.1', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'androidJvm' but:

Not sure if it's relevant as the Debug\hermesc.exe does still get built.

[cortinico]

I'm not able to reproduce still. Just as a sanity check: you folks installed Visual Studio 22 Community Edition and are running inside a Visual Studio console right?

[K-Leon]

Yes we are

[aleluiah]

Good day folks @JoseLion said he was able to reproduce the error and fix the issue check out the link below to see how he did it https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/34116. special thanks to @JoseLion, @wfern and @cortinico for their time and effort to help reproduce and fix this issue.

[jslok]

Followed the android/windows instructions, added the hermesCommand line, and using the PR by @JoseLion and I still get this error:

* What went wrong:

[aleluiah]

@jslok you do not need to add the hermesCommand line. clean your build or create a fresh project and use the pr

[jslok]

@aleluiah I get the same error without hermesCommand line. Using a fresh install with the pr.

[aleluiah]

@jslok modified your node modules react-native react.gradle file directly. the downside to this approach is that the changes won't persist in your react.gradle file but at least you would be able to build successfully. replace the following code in your node modules/reaact-native/react.gradle with the code below : / 3. If the react-native contains a pre-built hermesc, use it. def hermescBin = Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS) ? 'hermesc.exe' : 'hermesc' def prebuiltHermesPath = ("node_modules/react-native/sdks/hermesc/%OS-BIN%/" + hermescBin) .replaceAll("%OS-BIN%", getHermesOSBin()) .replace('/' as char, File.separatorChar); Make sure to init your project in the windows c: directory to shorten the path as much as possible. also please don't forget to run your build in a visual studio power shell command prompt

[jslok]

That seems to be the same as using the pr from @JoseLion, no? I tried it both ways and no dice. Also reinstalled VS 2022 CE with C++ and build tools and using vs command prompt.

[JoseLion]

Based on the error message (which is very similar to what we were getting in #34116), it seems that the hermesc.exe path is incorrect when hermes-engine is built from source.

The message says the file ...hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/hermesc.exe is missing, and I think it's because the path in react.gradle is actually ...hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/hermesc.exe. I can make the change in the opened PR if someone can confirm changing the path works since I'm currently not using the new architecture 😅

To give it a try, use the changes in PR #34151 and modify react.gradle to change the definition of the builtHermesc variable to the following:

def builtHermesc = hermesOverrideDir
  ? new File(hermesOverrideDir, "build/bin/Release/$hermescBin")
  : new File(reactRoot, "node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/$hermescBin")

Note the additional /Release/ in the paths

I hope this helps 🙂

PS: We also might need to determine the type of build (Release or Debug I think) to build the path correctly in each case. But we can figure it out once we know the change is corrrect 🤔

cc. @cortinico

[jslok]

@JoseLion Still getting the error with that change.

May be worth mentioning when using --variant=release I get a different but similar error:

* What went wrong:

> Build command failed.

Thus I tried using /MinSizeRel/ instead of /Release/ and still no success.

@MuhammadRafeh This problem is because your system won't have ICU, i got the same problem using Ubuntu 22.04 and solved by installing from the source.

git clone https://github.com/unicode-org/icu
cd icu/icu4c
cd source
./configure --prefix=/usr 
make
sudo make install

@truediogo thanks a lot. Yes, I am using Ubuntu. Let me try this. Hopefully it will work ❤️

[MuhammadRafeh]

But now ended with the same exact problem. 😂

Task :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:buildCMakeRelease[arm64-v8a][libhermes] FAILED

[JoseLion]

@jslok sorry to hear the proposed fix didn't work. I think it is because your first error was on :hermes-engine:buildCMakeRelease task and the second one in :hermes-engine:buildCMakeMinSizeRel task, so it seems we actually need to use the correct variant to build the path. I think I know how we can do this, but it requires a few changes. I'll guide you so you can give it a try if you like 🙂

Again, using the changes in PR #34151 modify react.gradle in the following lines:

Line 92

- def getHermesCommand = {
+ def getHermesCommand(targetName) {

Lines 111 - 113

def builtHermesc = hermesOverrideDir ?
-    new File(hermesOverrideDir, "build/bin/$hermescBin") :
+    new File(hermesOverrideDir, "build/bin/$targetName/$hermescBin") :
-    new File(reactRoot, "node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/$hermescBin")
+    new File(reactRoot, "node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/$targetName/$hermescBin")

Lines 288 - 291

if (Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS)) {
-    commandLine("cmd", "/c", getHermesCommand(), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
+    commandLine("cmd", "/c", getHermesCommand(targetName), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
} else {
-    commandLine(getHermesCommand(), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
+    commandLine(getHermesCommand(targetName), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
}

That's it! I hope that solves it.

Let me know how it goes, I'll be happy to add the change to open PR or create a new one 🙂

@JoseLion Just tried the latest changes and still no luck. Same error. After some further digging it appears the getHermesCommand function is not getting called at all. It appears the whole doLast task on ln 283 is not getting run.

[gunjantaazaa]

I am also facing exactly the same issue.

[MuhammadRafeh]

Any Updates?

Do you happen to know how to install icu4c for Windows? I have tried downloading the library from their site and copying the files into C:\Windows but it did not work.

You need also to add ICU binaries into system environment variables https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu4c/#windows-platform

Hi, I'm having trouble building my project with the new architecture on windows too. During the compiling process it says that it's using Windows 10 ICU. It's failing after the Cmake of hermes and the other components so I think this part is ok, do you really need the extra ICU libs for the other steps of the build process?

Edit: Just noticed this warning..

Failed to find all ICU components (missing: ICU_INCLUDE_DIR _ICU_REQUIRED_LIBS_FOUND) (Required is at least version "52")

So I think it's missing some of the components needed to build properly.

Edit2: Followed the procedure mentioned by @truediogo and now I have the following

-- Found the following ICU libraries: -- uc (required) -- i18n (required) -- data (required) -- uc (required) -- Found ICU: D:/icu/32/include (found suitable version "71.1", minimum required is "52")

But it still saying other header files are missing.

-- Looking for dlfcn.h -- Looking for dlfcn.h - not found -- Looking for errno.h -- Looking for errno.h - found -- Looking for fcntl.h -- Looking for fcntl.h - found -- Looking for link.h -- Looking for link.h - not found -- Looking for malloc.h -- Looking for malloc.h - found -- Looking for malloc/malloc.h -- Looking for malloc/malloc.h - not found [...]

Edit3: Just built a clean project using default template from react-native init. If I use --active-arch-only everything is smooth and flawless.. I didn't changed anything at all. PS: The warnings mentioned above still present, but the project is building fine.

But this problem occurs when building for all the architectures.

Task :ReactAndroid:configureCMakeDebug[armeabi-v7a] C/C++: debug|armeabi-v7a :CMake Warning in E:/projetos/reactnice/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/react/renderer/components/progressbar/CMakeLists.txt: C/C++: debug|armeabi-v7a : The object file directory C/C++: debug|armeabi-v7a : E:/projetos/reactnice/node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/.cxx/Debug/483m38n2/armeabi-v7a/ReactCommon/react/renderer/components/progressbar/CMakeFiles/rrc_progressbar.dir/./ C/C++: debug|armeabi-v7a : has 176 characters.

The build may not work C/C++: debug|armeabi-v7a : correctly. Task :ReactAndroid:buildCMakeDebug[armeabi-v7a][fabricjni,hermes-executor-debug,etc] FAILED

I noticed the warnings about max pull path length. Dunno if this is what's causing the problems.

On the other project I'm trying to upgrade to the new architecture I can't build even using the flag for just the active architecture. So there's maybe something missing in the NDK/configuration process there.
