Description

On a current project, after removing the package-lock.json and re-running npm install, a pod install in the ios directory fails:

$ pod install
Command `config` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: 767: unexpected token at ''.

 #  from /Users/ourvoiceusa/git/HelloVoter/mobile/ios/Podfile:44
 #  -------------------------------------------
 #  
 >    use_native_modules!
 #  end
 #  -------------------------------------------

Reproducible Demo

git clone https://github.com/OurVoiceUSA/HelloVoter.git
cd HelloVoter/mobile
npm install
cd ios
pod install

Then if you remove package-lock.json and re-install and try the npx react-native config from the ios directory again:

rm -f package-lock.json
npm install
cd ios
pod install

I believe this is due to npx react-native config failing to work inside the ios directory on the newer version of @react-native-community/cli-platform-ios

$ cd ios
$ npx react-native config
Command `config` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.

Here's the package-lock.json change that broke it:

Thanks,

Have same issue.

Check your node_modules.

Remove node_modules/react-native-cli. It has old version 2.0.1

Looks like after few npm installs, old version appears in node_modules somehow and broke many things.

There is an issue with resolving modules in gradle and seems like they are related.

BWT: After that react-native starts to be very slow (resolve modules on every start)

[cormander]

Yep, that fixed it. Thank you!

[rohitpareek143]

facing same issue even after updating @react-native-community/cli.. @cormander how you solved issue

current version of "@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios" is 3.0.0

Environment

OS: macOS 10.15.1
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 4.05 GB / 16.00 GB
Shell: 3.2.57 - /bin/bash
Binaries:
Node: 12.4.0 - /usr/local/bin/node
Yarn: 1.19.1 - ~/.yarn/bin/yarn
npm: 6.9.0 - /usr/local/bin/npm
Watchman: 4.9.0 - /usr/local/bin/watchman

IDEs:
Android Studio: 3.5 AI-191.8026.42.35.5900203

npmPackages:
react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0
react-native: 0.61.4 => 0.61.4

Steps to reproduce issue : -

1. Upgrade from RN 0.59.9 to RN 0.61.4
2. Use boilerplate Podfile - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/react-native-community/rn-diff-purge/release/0.61.4/RnDiffApp/ios/Podfile
3. Do a pod repo update and then a pod install

[ifyapishore]

If node_modules/react-native-cli exists - remove it. Thrid party module can
install it accidentally and scripts use mix of 2.* and 3.* scripts.

@ifyapishore node_modules/react-native-cli not exists. could you please post script.

[thymikee]

Check node_modules/@react-native-community/cli

[rohitpareek143]

@thymikee yeah its exist

"name": "@react-native-community/cli",
  "version": "3.0.0",

[rohitpareek143]

@thymikee @grabbou please check below react-native config details.

@thymikee @grabbou @rohitpareek143 : This issue is still there! Any solution for this?

[CyberMew]

Getting this as well after I did npm install, no issues yesterday, someone changed something that broke it i guess. The only sign I got was

npm WARN rm not removing /Users/cm/Desktop/mym1/mym1-react-native/node_modules/.bin/react-native as it wasn't installed by /Users/cm/Desktop/mym1/mym1-react-native/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli

I removed it manually, and pod install still gives the same error. iOS podfile/project was not modified at all.

The podfile line in question is: use_native_modules!($rnpath)

[aniruddhashevle]

I removed react-native-cli globally,
yarn global remove react-native-cli

Then pod install worked for me!

Removing react-native-cli saved me.

This is in New application, but maybe not in the migration guide.
