I'm seeing this too as of today. It appears to be a new issue.

error: bundling failed: Error: While resolving module react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome, the Haste package react-native-vector-iconswas found. However the moduleFontAwesome could not be found within the package. Indeed, none of these files exist:

Same as #626?

[junge68]

I found the solution.Delete this file.
rm ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/fixtures/files/package.json
Delete file package.json

[callagga]

I am see this too.

@junge68 - what would you need to clean/reset/etc to try your suggestion? I renamed the file and did a yarn cache clean, but this didn't help...

Loading dependency graph, done.

update: tried again and worked (I think doing the cache cleans etc may have put the file back perhaps?)

[Torgian]

Also ran into this problem today. Same exact error.

Update: I deleted the JSON file at node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/fixtures/files/package.json and restarted my project server. Works fine now.

However, I think the core issue is in the core code. Apparently this may be a bigger issue.

[fithaN]

Facing same issue deleting node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/fixtures/files/package.json doesnt help.any other solution?

[mtt87]

With the latest RN version 0.52.1 the file to remove is located here:
rm node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/__fixtures__/files/package.json

[wvicioso]

Lets get this change merged!!!

[ccjeaty]

rm node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/__fixtures__/files/package.json worked for me.

[Yandamuri]

@ccjeaty is it good practice or permanent solution to this issue? Will be there be any further conflicts if proceed to do so?

[jdnichollsc]

it's a bad practice, it's only a temporal solution...

[Yandamuri]

@jdnichollsc Thank you. Could you suggest any solution for this?

[ShooterArk]

Deleting that package.json did fix my issue but I didnt like this solution since I will have to delete it everytime I face such issue.. But anyhow thanks guys, it took me 4 hours to find this solution :P ..

[jdnichollsc]

@Yandamuri sorry, I'm learning React Native, I don't know for the moment

[evanjmg]

This needs to be fixed properly, this is a critical issue +1.

[fungilation]

I'm seeing this from metro-bundler:

bundling failed: Error: While resolving module react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome, the Haste package react-native-vector-icons was found. However the module FontAwesome could not be found within the package. Indeed, none of these files exist

Similar to what others are seeing. I haven't touched or upgraded anything in react-native-vector-icons. What I changed on native side that could have triggered this is upgrading react-native-firebase, followed by a pod update.

[fungilation]

#630 (comment) 's solution works but obviously addressing the symptom, not the cause. This should be filed upstream to react-native? I'm not even sure how to file when it's not consistently reproducible, other than my last comment?

[MoOx]

Dup of #626
it's an RN issue facebook/react-native#17610
Will be fixed by facebook/react-native#17672
Workaround #626 (comment)

[jasonc1025]

Thanks @MoOx for the helpful summary. :)

[Yandamuri]

@MoOx

Will be fixed by facebook/react-native#17672

is it permanent fix?

[SridharAlagirisamy]

@mtt87 Thanks it worked for me.

[MoOx]

@Yandamuri yes it will. Nothing is wrong in this package. It's RN repo that contains the name of this package (and it should not).

[trinadhkoya]

thanks @mtt87 .It works like a charm
💯

Correction: This is fixed in Version 0.54.4 of React Native

4 months later and this still isn't fixed in React Native 0.53.3.

Quick fix as others point out is to run rm ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/__fixtures__/files/package.json but you'll need to do this after every fresh npm install.

So, to run this automatically, you can add it to your package.json as a postinstall script:

package.json

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "rm ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/__fixtures__/files/package.json"
}

[fungilation]

Yup, fine with me on RN 0.54.4

[13ArturBruno]

I found the solution.Delete this file.
rm ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/fixtures/files/package.json
Delete file package.json

I delete this file but error continued. :c

[paalex]

@13ArturBruno if on RN0.52+ you need ``rm node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/fixtures/files/package.json`
