Help With Naming Collision

[quadsurf]

Can't figure out how to fix this, since most naming collisions you google address a pre RN0.18 version regarding FBJS dependency. Please help!

Others having same issue too: oliviertassinari/react-swipeable-views#207
(but there solution not helpful)

Failed to build DependencyGraph: @providesModule naming collision:
Duplicate module name: react-native-vector-icons
Paths: .../node_modules/react-native/local-cli/rnpm/core/fixtures/files/package.json collides with .../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Animated/release/package.json

This error is caused by a @providesModule declaration with the same name across two different files.

Looks like you have duplicate installations in your node_modules, likely because some other dependency depend on a different version of react-native-vector-icons.

[oblador]

Actually upon inspecting this file: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/local-cli/core/__fixtures__/files/package.json it looks like your config is messed up somehow. Did you change babel/packager configs? Does it work on a fresh project/after rm -rf node_modules && npm i?

[quadsurf]

@oblador No, unfortunately it does not resolve after trying this:
rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean && npm i

[oblador]

Looks like you're on an old version of RN? Did you try a fresh project?

[quadsurf]

Ya it breaks everything, mainly because a lot of 3rd-party libraries that I'm using do not yet provide compatibility with latest versions of RN

[oblador]

K, try manually downgrading to 0.39 then and using RNVI 3.0.

[oblador]

Also, your title feels unfair as it's very likely not this library itself being the cause ;-)

[quadsurf]

npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: react-native-vector-icons@^0.3.9

[oblador]

I mean 0.39 of react-native and 3.0.0 of react-native-vector-icons.

[quadsurf]

you're right, my apologies @oblador over title

[oblador]

Haha, no worries 👍 😸

[oblador]

Actually I think you might have duplicate installations of react-native itself. Find the culprit by running npm ls | grep " react-native@" and npm ls | grep " react-native-vector-icons@".

[quadsurf]

@oblador

that grep search yields only:
react-native@0.32.1

i did try upgrading to 0.39 too, but that didn't work either, so i reverted back to 0.32.1

this one seems to be the problem with both RNVI errors:
/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/rnpm/core/fixtures/files/package.json

[oblador]

Right, that's a copy of my package.json for testing purposes, it shouldn't be picked up by haste/packager so that's why i'm thinking your configs are off. Simply upgrading might not be enough as it will not change your configs, that's why i'm proposing you try with a fresh project.

@oblador a fresh project solved it, thank you sooo much for the generous help! i'm new to coding, been coding for less than 4 months now, and I'm always impressed with how eager people are to help... it means a lot, thank you!
