It seems like you have global react-native-cli installed, which causes name conflicts in react-native binary. Could you please remove global react-native-cli by running yarn global remove react-native-cli and try again with yarn react-native run-android?

@Esemesek since we call npx, it's npm records we want to update, so running
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
seems more appropriate.

@Esemesek
I haven't install react-native-cli any all. Create the app with npx react-native init.
And when i reinstall @react-native-community/cli-platform-android with @3.0.0-alpha.2 , it's ok.
b1ngx
on 8 Nov 2019
Can you please run yarn react-native config and paste the output? It's interesting, because on master, line 182 contains nothing but a function declaration.
I would recommend upgrading to "just released" version 3.0.0 and pasting the output again. The line should be different and we can debug this further.

I did not install react-native and react-native-cli , and i also run npm uninstall -g react-native react-native-cli
When remove the native_modules.gradle comment /* dir */
def reactNativeConfigOutput = this.getCommandOutput(command, /* dir */)
to
def reactNativeConfigOutput = this.getCommandOutput(command, dir)
it's ok.

I am seeing this after upgrading to 0.61.4 react-native. I've never installed react-native or react-native-cli globally. Commenting back in the 2nd argument here didn't change it for me
bneigher
on 23 Nov 2019
Looks like the JSON is invalid and react-native config works w/o issues here. So, to verify, could you run npx --quiet --no-install react-native config yourself and tell us what's the output? The CLI clearly has issues parsing the configuration.
grabbou
on 24 Nov 2019
I've solved like this on native_modules.gradle
`diff
- def command = "${npx} --quiet --no-install react-native config"
+ def command = "yarn --silent react-native config"
`

Try updating the Node to the version 10.17.0. It helped me.

@sibelius thanks! I remember @thymikee was saying --quiet mode did have its issues while running with npx. I will look into it this week.

Same issue here on CI. Locally it works. Perhaps it's because it is using npx and we use yarn?
jfrolich
on 18 Dec 2019
We use npx because it _should_ be universally available along with Node.js. Using yarn to install deps shouldn't matter, but we've seen some reports of npx not behaving as advertised.
thymikee
on 18 Dec 2019
It stopped working when upgrading react-native from 0.61.4 to 0.61.5. But then after downgrading the problem is still happening so it could also have something to do with the global CI config (app center). Let me investigate this further.
jfrolich
on 18 Dec 2019
It's definitely the npx command that not behaving well. The old version of cli-platform-android works perfectly fine. The working version is: "3.0.0-alpha.2"
jfrolich
on 18 Dec 2019
For other people that are affected, this in your package.json will fix it for you:
"resolutions": {
"@react-native-community/cli-platform-android": "3.0.0-alpha.2"
},
Uncommenting /* dir */ also fixes the issue for me. Here are more specifics:
- This is happening on Microsoft AppCenter
- My React Native app does not live in the root of the repo. It's in a
mobile/directory. - AppCenter doesn't
cd mobile. Instead it's just firing offmobile/android/gradlewfrom the root - Because the second argument
diris commented out, I thinknpxis being run at the root of my repo, which isn't going to work.

- https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues/863

I indeed removed 'react-native-cli' and 'react-native' global packages with
yarn global remove react-native-cli react-native and npm uninstall -g react-native-cli react-native
But I guess I only really needed to enter android folder and run ./gradlew clean
Kinda of what @sagargulati pointed out. Except I did not edit the _native_modules.gradle_ file.
I wish you all nice holidays
AlexandreLage

manually removed the caches and daemon folders in _%HOME%/user/.gradle/_
then navigate to android folder in your project i.e. /myproject/android/
run _gradlew --stop_ // this stops the running daemon
then run _gradlew clean_
might take a while to rebuild so b patient

Do you also have a monorepo where the app resides in a subfolder when compiling on app center?

on 30 Dec 2019
None of the answers works,
I run npm uninstall -g react-native-cli react-native for being sure that the tools removed globally. but I just got up to date in 0.034s message in cmd. (I don't know it's normal or not) still doesn't fix.
here is my result of npx.cmd --quiet --no-install react-native config

check if your running react-native run-android twice in a separate terminal that could be causing the problem

it's for a few days ago, so I can't remember exactly, but usually I start one react-native instance (using react-native start) to make sure all of next commands using same react-native instance process and then run react-native run-android instances. However, I'll check it again, Thanks

Pretty much what worked for me. I wasn't running react-native start before react-native run-android. That and doing cd android then gradlew clean also helps.

Surprisingly, a lot of issues here were resolved by doing something totally irrelevant to the CLI.
I believe the title of this issue is misleading because many builds can "fail with an exception". This is the standard Android failure that can happen on many occasions.
I am going to close this issue and encourage you to open other issues in the future with more verbose title/description to not confuse anyone.
Also, npx is going away in the next release - #886 - so many of these errors should be resolved as well.

same issue still persists but i found a work around :
cd into the android app of your app and run gradlew --stop
then run gradlew clean
i found it works better on a terminal with elevated privileges
after it finishes run your app the normal way

I was seeing the same issue. I did the following to fix it:
- Delete
node_modules/&/android/app/build - install dependencies
npm install - Open project in android studio, and make a build
- Profit
running npx react-native run-android now works again 😆

Okay for me it was something different. I was using nvm with lower node(7.4.0) as a default version. I thought I specified nvm to use latest for this Project folder, but it did not work.
After setting latest node as global default in nvm it fixed the issue.
Also, funny thing is project was running fine with run-android but would not sync in Android Studio.

Sorry for late,
I created a new project using
npx react-native init TestProject --template react-native-template-typescript
When I run react run-android it opens a new cmd to start nodejs (so I'm pretty sure always one run-android command is running) but when it tries to build android apk it gives me this error:
unlike to @b1ngx's log file, I have an error in line 200. I check the line in native_modules.gradle file, an exception thrown at the line that its message is already printed in the console log, so it does not help me to find what is wrong.

I checked cli-platform-android version, the init command install version 3.0.3 itself, so there is no need to installing it manually
Also, I have previously uninstalled the global react-native and react-native-cli packages

I think I found what is wrong with my project, I'm using gradle wrapper version 5.6 which has a bug with new JsonSlurper().parseText(reactNativeConfigOutput) statement, you can see related issue here.
So upgrading to an upper version like 5.6.4 solved my problem.
@grabbou
is it possible to somehow check the Gradle wrapper version in the native_modules.gradle and show a better error message if the user Gradle wrapper version is 5.6, or at least document this in Get start* page in RN website?

This is a good idea. I would recommend sending a PR to the CLI that adds "Troubleshooting" section to the main readme.

@SaeedZhiany
What is the react-native version you are using ?
And you don't need to uninstall react-native-cli globally.

@iamadityaaz
I'm using RN v0.61.5
And you don't need to uninstall react-native-cli globally.
RN website says it's needed;
If you previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues.

I was getting this issue and nothing seemed to fix it. Until i noticed that i was using a gradle version higher than what the guide had suggested.
Go to
android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
And ensure yourdistributionUrl is the same as what your guide or upgrade helper suggests.
Edit: Also, there seemed to be some issue with with node that it would not install the correct packages, check your node_modules directory to check if the package was installed correctly or not (file with the script exists or not). I used yarn instead and it installed things correctly.

I found a workaround for this:
yarn add @react-native-community/[email protected] yarn add [email protected] Removed "--quiet" from npx.cmd in native_modules.gradle cd android && gradlew clean
THAT'S WORKING THANKS!!!!

I just deleted the build folder that's inside the android/app, i don't know what is the cause for this issue so my solution obviously may not work, but i will just leave it here in case someone has the same issue as me

I'm working in a monorepo. The file exists, but it was in my project root's node_modules/@react-native-community NOT the package node_modules.
To fix this, I updated the paths
/android/settings.gradle : Line 2
```
apply from: file("../../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
`/android/app/build.gradle : Line 225`
apply from: file("../../../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)
```
