Should be fixed in cli-platform-android & cli-platform-ios 3.1.4.
Please update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version.

That's likely because you installed 1.9.6 which was a bad release, please remove @react-native-community/cli and install deps once again.

@thymikee I am running 'react-native init App' and it fails after yarn install the modules so my package.json looks like this after that.

{
  "name": "ProcoorCommunication",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/cli.js start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react-native": "0.59.8"
  }
}

The only message i am getting is 'Error: Cannot find module '@react-native-community/cli' and no so much to go on from there i uninstalled the global react-native-cli and reinstalled but still the same error also removing '@react-native-community/cli' using yarn fails and gives this message 'This module isn't specified in a manifest.' removing it manually and running yarn yields nothing.

Which version of @react-native-community/cli is installed? Can you share this repo with me? I've ran init today with the same version and it works just fine. I'm assuming this is something with your environment.

thymikee on 28 May 2019

@thymikee I guess it was a long file path issue it got resolved when i run the command on the root drive.

Facing this issue again after 3.1.0 release of @react-native-community/cli. Downgraded @react-native-community/cli-platform-ios from 3.1.0 to 3.0.0 and now is working again.

Added "@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios": "3.0.0" to package.json. Run npm install and then pod install.

We've recently released a patch that should fix these. Please update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version and test again.

thymikee on 14 Feb 2020

install this. npm i @react-native-community/cli

remote-programmer-manish on 14 Feb 2020

@thymikee
I updated the cli according to how the doc says.
But I still get the following version when I run npm list @react-native-community/cli,

└─┬ [email protected]
  └── @react-native-community/[email protected]

And the version you have released is v3.1.3.
Am I missing something?

YeshanJay on 14 Feb 2020

@YeshanJay CLI is a set of packages, which are versioned independently. The package that's affected for this issue is @react-native-community/cli-platform-android, which got promoted to 3.1.3.
FYI, with yarn you could do yarn list --pattern @react-native-community/cli which would output all packages related to RN CLI

thymikee on 14 Feb 2020

@thymikee Got it mate.
Just checked the package-lock.json.
Both cli-platform-android and cli-platform-android have the version 3.1.3

Still getting this error though when I run npx react-native run-android...

:ReactNative:Unexpected empty result of running '[node, -e, console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);]' command.

What happens if you run

node -e "console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);"

node -e console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);

thymikee on 14 Feb 2020

@thymikee .. Ran node -e "console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);",

And got this..

@thymikee . Do I need to install the @react-native-community/cli package globally??

And also note that it's not there in my package.json.

YeshanJay on 14 Feb 2020

Same issue +1

pseudosmart on 14 Feb 2020

Same error

rodrigo4635 on 14 Feb 2020

Ok, I know what's happening. We rely on @react-native-community/cli being hoisted same as @react-native-community/cli-platform-android. While this is true for Yarn, it's not always true for npm, which bails to hoist it:

Nevertheless, this is an issue on our side, which we need to address. Please bare with us while we're working on a fix.

thymikee on 14 Feb 2020

@thymikee Thanks for the response mate. Looking forward to the fix 💯

YeshanJay on 14 Feb 2020

I was having the same issue just a minute ago. We are using AppCenter to build the application and it was failing.

node -e "console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);" was giving the Error: Cannot find module '@react-native-community/cli' error.

I've deleted node_modules and package-lock.json. After running npm i, used npm i @react-native-community/cli. Now, @react-native-community/cli version is 4.0.1 and everything works as expected.

Thanks!

Justs a heads up, somehow this breaks my android build on appcenter. I'm getting Error: Cannot find module 'react-native/cli'.

Definitely could be appcenter related, I'm trying to see if they cache the build folders right now.

@thymikee I guess it was a long file path issue it got resolved when i run the command on the root drive.

This is true. I had my project with long path with cyrillic symbols. Then, I just moved the project to root E:\ disk

tons of issues are caused by long file path with unrecognized symbols in Android Studio

cnscorpions on 26 Apr 2020

with cli I have the same a problem. With Expo it's works
