error: Error: Unable to resolve module @env

[maoryadin]

No matter what I do, it's just not working.

babel.config.json:

{
    "presets": ["@babel/preset-react","module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"],
    "plugins": [
      ["module:react-native-dotenv", {
        "moduleName": "@env",
        "path": ".env",
        "safe": false,
        "allowUndefined": true
      }]
    ]
}

error:

error: Error: Unable to resolve module @env from /Users/maoryadin/spetz-git/project/src/constants/config.js: @env could not be found within the project or in these directories:
  node_modules
  ../../node_modules
  1 | import {AppColors, AppSizes, AppStyles} from '../theme';
  2 | import {Platform} from 'react-native';
> 3 | import {SERVER_URL, RATING_URL, ENV} from '@env';

I have a .env file that exists.

Hey, thank you for opening this issue! 🙂 To boost priority on this issue and support open source please tip the team at https://issuehunt.io/r/goatandsheep/react-native-dotenv/issues/394

[goatandsheep]

Is the library installed as dev dependency?

[goatandsheep]

Also try using Babel.config.js and setting API.cache(false)
You shouldn't need this but if you didn't update your Babel then this is a workaround

yes, installed in devDependencies

So as you suggested I am now using babel.config.js
I am getting a different errors:

[BABEL]: Cannot find module 'node:fs'

my react-native-dotenv version is 3.4.6 by the way.

Can you please show me a test repo? I haven't been able to break it.

Can confirm that adding the import for the env module before importing anything else worked for me as I had just run into the same issue.

[goatandsheep]

Hi tomorrow I will verify and I can update the docs to include this :)

Hi,

I had the same issue, while trying to import through @env. as suggested in the above comments, I tried importing React and it worked for me.

I added the import React from 'react'; at the first line.
