Description

I am trying to upgrade the react-native version from 0.63 to 0.66 but I am getting this below error, already tried deleting node_modules, adding cli as dependency in package.json, tried with different gradle version, different npm and node versions.

` Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster) :ReactNative:Unexpected empty result of running '[node, -e, console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin);]' command. :ReactNative:Running '[node, -e, console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin);]' command failed.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where: Script 'node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle' line: 213
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script.

but when running the command im my terminal, getting this file `

this will force people use parent dir node_modules, can't custom clipath now. integrate rn to exsting app, we really need a different js dir, not must be a parent dir. thanks. can some way resolve this? now I can only with patch-package

Hello,

Any fix about this issue. I can reproduce with react-native": "0.68.2" 😢

Oct 31 '22 17:10 sanders9

Same situation with "react-native": "0.67.5"

Dec 08 '22 15:12 javierconstanzo-san

Hello Could you please check which version of node you're using? Also, maybe node_modules are corrupted? Could you please try to remove them (and also yarn.lock / package-lock.json) and reinstall dependencies?

Dec 08 '22 19:12 adamTrz

Hey this is node v16.16.0 and this is a clean project started from scratch. This is not related to node_modules or node, it's use_native_modules not working properly. See this and this for details.

I am right, for 0.71.0 node_modules/react-native-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/facebook/react/ReactExtension.kt

val root: DirectoryProperty =
      objects.directoryProperty().convention(project.rootProject.layout.projectDirectory.dir("../"))

code force the location, then native code can not build on other path outer react-native-business project

projectRoot is fixed and needs to be modified to like this:

projectRoot 是固定的，需要修改为如下：

Aug 17 '23 08:08 helloMrTom

I have this problem too, https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/41244#issuecomment-1790981785 Here is the simplest demo . https://github.com/woshi82/rn-locate-symbol-error.git

After reading this problem, I try to modified the code in E:\AwesomeProject\rn\node_modules\@react-native-community\cli-platform-android\native_modules.gradle from

// number: 489 line
/*
 * Sometimes Gradle can be called outside of JavaScript hierarchy. Detect the directory
 * where build files of an active project are located.
 */
def projectRoot = rootProject.projectDir

to

def projectRoot = new File(rootProject.projectDir, "../../rn/node_modules")

It's seems worked. But there is a chain reaction occurring in a third-party library. （The error shows bellow） That's not a comprehensive solution。

Build file 'E:\AwesomeProject\rn\node_modules\@react-native-camera-roll\camera-roll\android\build.gradle' line: 90

I have this problem too, facebook/react-native#41244 (comment) Here is the simplest demo . https://github.com/woshi82/rn-locate-symbol-error.git

After reading this problem, I try to modified the code in E:\AwesomeProject\rn\node_modules\@react-native-community\cli-platform-android\native_modules.gradle from
// number: 489 line
/*
 * Sometimes Gradle can be called outside of JavaScript hierarchy. Detect the directory
 * where build files of an active project are located.
 */
def projectRoot = rootProject.projectDir
to
def projectRoot = new File(rootProject.projectDir, "../../rn/node_modules")
It's seems worked. But there is a chain reaction occurring in a third-party library. （The error shows bellow） That's not a comprehensive solution。
