A props object containing a "key" prop is being spread into JSX

[KrisLau]

Current behavior

Every time I load my app, after updating a bunch of my packages (of note: react-native, expo), I get this error:

Warning: A props object containing a "key" prop is being spread into JSX:
  let props = {key: someKey, position: ..., route: ..., navigationState: ..., getAccessibilityLabel: ..., getAccessible: ..., getLabelText: ..., getTestID: ..., renderBadge: ..., renderIcon: ..., renderLabel: ..., activeColor: ..., inactiveColor: ..., pressColor: ..., pressOpacity: ..., onLayout: ..., onPress: ..., onLongPress: ..., labelStyle: ..., style: ..., defaultTabWidth: ..., android_ripple: ...};
  <TabBarItem {...props} />
React keys must be passed directly to JSX without using spread:
  let props = {position: ..., route: ..., navigationState: ..., getAccessibilityLabel: ..., getAccessible: ..., getLabelText: ..., getTestID: ..., renderBadge: ..., renderIcon: ..., renderLabel: ..., activeColor: ..., inactiveColor: ..., pressColor: ..., pressOpacity: ..., onLayout: ..., onPress: ..., onLongPress: ..., labelStyle: ..., style: ..., defaultTabWidth: ..., android_ripple: ...};
  <TabBarItem key={someKey} {...props} />

<TabView

  initialLayout={initialLayout}
  navigationState={{index, routes}}
  onIndexChange={setIndex}
  renderTabBar={renderTabBar}
  renderScene={renderScene}
/>

const renderTabBar = props => (
    <TabBar
      {...props}
      scrollEnabled
      activeColor={'red'}
      inactiveColor={'grey'}
      tabStyle={styles.tabBar}
      labelStyle={styles.tabBarLabel}
      indicatorContainerStyle={styles.tabIndicatorContainer}
      indicatorStyle={styles.indicator}
      style={{backgroundColor: Colors.WHITE, elevation: 0}}
    />
);

When i add renderTabBarItem={() => {}}, the error disappears so I tried to change the <TabBarItem {...props} /> to <TabBarItem key={props.key} {...props} /> in node_modules/react-native-tab-view/src/TabBar.tsx but the error did not disappear.

Expected behavior

No error

Hey @KrisLau! Thanks for opening the issue. It seems that the issue doesn't contain a link to a repro.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide an easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue.

You can provide a repro using any of the following:

• Expo Snack
• TypeScript Playground
• GitHub repo under your username

A snack link is preferred since it's the easiest way to both create and share a repro. If it's not possible to create a repro using a snack, link to a GitHub repo under your username is a good alternative. Don't link to a branch or specific file etc. as it won't be detected.

Try to keep the repro as small as possible by narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue. Don't link to your entire project or a project containing code unrelated to the issue. See "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example" for more information.

You can edit your original issue to include a link to the repro, or leave it as a comment. The issue will be closed automatically after a while if you don't provide a repro.

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

• @react-navigation/native
• react-native-tab-view
• @react-navigation/bottom-tabs
• @react-navigation/drawer
• @react-navigation/material-top-tabs
• @react-navigation/stack

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.

@satya164 Fixed it by moving the key out of the props. My patch file from yarn:

Hi @KrisLau, which version of react are you using? "react": "18.3.0" gives me these errors but I don't have them with "react": "18.2.0". It's related to facebook/react#25697 after checking release notes https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v18.3.0

In my case for "@react-navigation/material-top-tabs": "6.6.13" the file MaterialTopabView.tsx is where the source of the error is:

  return (
    <TabView<Route<string>>
      {...rest}

This version should have a peerDependency "react": "<=18.2.0" as it will crash any Android release build (in my case) if the version is higher.

[antonandreyev]

Yes, the warning appears with React 18.3.x. There is no crash for me and the React crew is promising that there is no changes apart of new deprecation warnings

[KrisLau]

@antoniogoulao I'm using v18.3.1. My Android builds are running fine on it but I'll make sure to keep an eye out for issues with it! My upgraded version is still sitting on a separate branch because I'm testing all the packages I upgraded haha.

[linusrush]

Same issue here. Started happening after upgrading to v18.3.1

maybe the Solution given by @KrisLau could be implemented soon?

[KrisLau]

@linusrush you can use patch-package or yarn's built in patching to patch it in your project if you need it urgently
