"run-android" stuck on JS Metro Bundler ("warn") #25904

ezranbayantemur · 2019-08-01T11:31:08Z

Today I created a new project with "react-native init projectName" and when I tried to "run-android" it runs Node JS server and stucks like first screenshot.

If I kill the JS server it gives the warn about packager server and contiunes to install app and gives Unable to load script error (for sure because JS server not running)

When I first type "react-native start" and "run-android" it works fine, but I want to know why it happens like that? I search that warn error and can't find anything.

It's start happening suddenly. I didn't recieve that error on my old projects (same react and react native versions) and don't know why it happens.

Any help?

Error:

warn Failed to automatically start the packager server. Please run "react-native start" manually. Error details: Command failed: cmd.exe /C C:\Users\ezran\Desktop\SADELABS\demoProject\node_modules\react-native\scripts\launchPackager.bat

Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the React Native version: section?

If you believe this information is irrelevant to the reported issue, you may write `[skip envinfo]` alongside an explanation in your Environment: section.

and i have made the refactor to AndroidX and use JETIFIER

and it does not even compile my app on an Android Emulator, it just get stuck in the metro bundler, like the image for example.

I recently upgraded to react native 0.60.4 using this tool

Same problem

GaateKeeper · 2019-08-01T21:17:31Z

similar issue here as well

thecodrr · 2019-08-01T22:01:03Z

@ezranbayantemur This seems to be an issue with the CLI. I suggest you open an issue there.

ezranbayantemur · 2019-08-01T22:23:54Z

@ezranbayantemur This seems to be an issue with the CLI. I suggest you open an issue there.

But same (version) CLI runs older projects (just created a week ago, not different) perfectly. I don’t think problem about CLI.

thecodrr · 2019-08-01T22:30:47Z

@ezranbayantemur what's your CLI version? Check using yarn list @react-native-community/cli.

san003 · 2019-08-02T05:09:59Z

same problem,Please help me

ParthShrivastav · 2019-08-02T05:21:59Z

Same here

thecodrr · 2019-08-02T05:27:30Z

This was an issue with the CLI. Fixed in #604. Please wait for the new CLI release (happens quickly) and then update.

As a workground, just downgrade your CLI to 2.8.0 or lesser and it will work without an issue. Upgrade/Downgrade instructions here

san003 · 2019-08-02T05:49:39Z

When I init my project at react-native version 0.59.3 again. The problem is gone.

rabingithb · 2019-08-02T05:52:50Z

i have got the solution of the problem

go to your project and run 2 command shell
in first shell, run npm start
in second shell, react-native run-android
then it will run

thecodrr · 2019-08-02T05:54:50Z

@san003 RN versions less than 0.60 use 1.0+ versions of CLI which don't have the bug. RN Version 0.60+ uses 2.0+ version of CLI.

ezranbayantemur · 2019-08-02T06:18:43Z

@ezranbayantemur what's your CLI version? Check using yarn list @react-native-community/cli.

When I was command "react native -v"

react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.60.4

If CLI is the problem how can work on older project? I mean it can be, maybe I was wrong, CLI has problem, but I don't get it. I have two project which one of them created one week ago (0.60.4), one of them yesterday (0.60.4), older one works fine but the other has a problem.

thecodrr · 2019-08-02T06:19:47Z

@ezranbayantemur that's the global-cli version. Run the command i gave you.

thecodrr · 2019-08-02T06:25:23Z

Compare the CLI versions of both the projects using the command I gave you and you will see the difference. Each time you run react-native init, the latest CLI version is installed (locally not globally).

Edit: And I fixed it in the CLI so it is of course a problem with the CLI. Try the workaround I gave above until a new CLI release is published.

Yeah you were right, older project has "@react-native-community/cli@2.8.0", newer one " @react-native-community/cli@2.8.1".

Sorry for not thinking problem on CLI, my bad. I don't know very well CLI

akshaykumar0291 · 2019-08-02T06:39:36Z

Mine is started working, just I had to do one more step.

npm start
react-native start
react-native run-android

I downgrade it but still has same error.

I remove @react-native-community/cli entry on package-lock.json and npm install @react-native-community/cli@2.8.0 but still nothing changes.

Also I checked with list command and :

+-- @react-native-community/cli@2.8.0
-- react-native@0.60.4
-- @react-native-community/cli@2.8.0 deduped

thecodrr · 2019-08-02T07:34:37Z

@ezranbayantemur run npm install --dev @react-native-community/cli@2.8.0 or yarn add --dev @react-native-community/cli@2.8.0

thymikee · 2019-08-02T07:51:59Z

The issue is being worked on here: react-native-community/cli#604. Should be fixed soon. Closing this one.

thymikee · 2019-08-02T10:23:24Z

Published fix in v2.8.3 of the CLI. Please update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version.

gustavopch · 2019-08-14T16:48:18Z

Published fix in v2.8.3 of the CLI. Please update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version.

Still happening here with 2.8.3. Tried to reinstall it, tried through npx, tried many times to create a project from scratch. No success. Node version: 8.13.0.

jqtruong · 2019-08-20T16:16:41Z

having the same issue with 2.9.0. Someone running 2.0.1 doesn't have that problem. Any advice on how to debug this?
