🐛 [Android] - Does not build within monorepo

[batical]

What were you trying to do?

Trying to build on android with a Monorepo with version 2.5.0

Previous version was working fine

What happened instead?

Where:
Build file '[...]/node_modules/react-native-vision-camera/android/build.gradle' line: 220

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-vision-camera'.
> Expected directory '[...]/packages/mobile/android/../node_modules/react-native/android' to contain exactly one file, however, it contains no files.

I changed the path on :
line 220, 221, 223, 229

but got C compilation error
fatal error: 'jsi/jsi.h' file not found

after updating l97 the build command is working

Relevant log output

No response

Device

Android

VisionCamera Version

2.5.0

Additional information

• I am using Expo
• I have read the Troubleshooting Guide
• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct
• I searched for similar issues in this repository and found none.

Interesting, does this work if you create a symlink to node_modules in the mobile/ directory?

[batical]

I will try to give a try next week. (for now I created a patch-package for my case).

@batical what did you fix on patch package?

@batical thanks 👍

[batical]

working also with last versions 2.6.1 in debug or release mode

@mrousavy I've encountered the same issue right now while trying to install it in my monorepo setup. iOS is working flawlessly.
Maybe this one is helpful for you: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler/pull/1757/files

This is how react-native-gesture-handler fixed that issue for monorepos when trying to determine react-native-reanimated version

[Alexispap]

I encountered this at RN 0.69.1 and solved it temporarily by replacing line 228 in the android/build.gradle file of react-native-vision-camera (in node_modules) by
def rnAAR = fileTree("${nodeModules}/react-native/android/com/facebook/react/react-native/0.69.1").matching({ it.include "**/**/*-release.aar" }).singleFile
Here, the word release could also be exchanged by debug, i guess.
Beware, that every reinstall of node_modules will wipe this change from the file.

[mrozkosz]

I have the same problem and still not resolved @mrousavy

[hirbod]

Not sure what you are doing, but I have a monorepo setup (0.68.2) and it's working fine

[mrozkosz]

As you can see when I build the application I get this error.

"react-native-vision-camera": "^2.13.5",
"react-native-reanimated": "^2.9.1"
"react-native": "0.69.1",

java version "16.0.1"

What is the problem? @hirbod, without react-native-reanimated I can build the application, but I need this...

[hirbod]

I don't know. And I am not sure why you Tag so many random people which aren't even involved
