✔ Downloading template

error Error: Couldn't find the "/tmp/rncli-init-template-5vAI2Q/node_modules/typescript/template.config.js file inside "typescript" template. Please make sure the template is valid. Read more: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/init.md#creating-custom-template

Steps to reproduce

1. Call npx react-native init FeeveApp --template typescript inside monorepo setup in packages/ folder
2. See failure

[likern]

Doesn't relate to monorepo thing, it just doesn't work at all.

I suggest it's react-native cli bug, but not sure.

[emin93]

typescript is not the correct template name.
Please use the correct template: npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

[likern]

@emin93 I used command from official documentation
npx react-native init AwesomeTSProject --template react-native-template-typescript and it fails the same way.

[erikroznbeker]

It is some problem with newer yarn versions.
if I use yarn "berry" version yarn set version berry I get this error.
When I return to "normal" yarn yarn set version classic it works ok.

[georgeonofrei]

seems to be a yarn thing indeed. I've added the --npm flag on the command and the generation worked
