Could not list contents of '/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver' - Android Release

[ben-snaize]

Scenario
When creating an Android release APK, the error Could not list contents of '/Users/user/project/node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver' is encountered which causes the build to fail.

Steps to Reproduce
npm i react-native@0.45 --save
cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease && ./gradlew installRelease

There is a folder named third-party-podspecs that contains the GLog.podspec. This probably gets expanded into another folder, third-party on build. Inside of this, there is a file under glog-0.3.4/test-driver which appears to be an alias that does not resolve.

There is a temporary fix which is to delete the third-party folder. Please can we look at getting this one corrected?

I'm also having this issue.

This worked for me: delete the broken test-driver-link as follows

unlink node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver

Same issue over here, fix by @itinance works 🔥

In addition to unlinking, I also had to remove third-party/glog-0.3.4 in the project root.

I'm using RN 0.46.1 and Yarn.

With RN 0.46.3, @itinance solution worked for me.

This issue occurs in 0.46.3 only if you do an android build after you do an iOS build. That link gets created during the iOS build. If you do an android build after a fresh npm install, it's fine.

It's ironic that I ran into this issue after I upgraded after #14382 was fixed in 0.46.3

This is fixed in master branch. Guess we need to wait for 0.47.0
