TypeError: Cannot read property 'RNFSFileTypeRegular' of null

[aymeric75]

Hello,

I have followed the instructions in the " Usage (Android)" section , then I inserted in my App.js, in the App function, these two lines:

const App: () => Node = () => {
    var RNFS = require('react-native-fs');
    var path = RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + '/test.txt';
    ....

but when I run:

npx react-native start

I get

TypeError: Cannot read property 'RNFSFileTypeRegular' of null, js engine: hermes

I really don't know what to do, any lead ?

Thanks a lot
