Cli: Unable to load script. Make sure.... message.

[darshanaprasad]

I am new to react native.
I am just starting to learn react native.
I installed JDK, node.js, python 2, and android studio to start practicing react native according to tutorial I refer.
After initializing a project with command "react-native init project_name", I ran the command "react-native run-android" inside project folder.
I get the message "Unable to load script. Make sure...." after finish running above command and some java errors.
I have attached a screenshot of that error message.
Please let me know what are my faults.
Thanks in advance.

You may need to run react-native start on a separate terminal before running react-native run-android

[darshanaprasad]

Thanks for quick response.
I ran react-native start in same terminal. I,ll try it in separate window.

I tried running above commands in separate terminals. But, no luck. So, I think you can find any error by looking at terminal. So, I post it below.

Hey,

Thank you for filling this issue. Unfortunately, this is not a CLI issue. It looks to me more like a configuration problem of your machine or just Metro not being able to load and process your entry file.

Please consider opening this issue in React Native repository (if you believe it's a bug) or filling a question on StackOverflow.

Please understand that due to the nature of our Open Source project, we don't have the bandwidth to read through your issue request and help solve it.
