@barcode11 and @folivi , I just ignited a new app and it worked okay.

@barcode11 , it appears you have an old version of react-native-cli. Can you upgrade it with npm uninstall -g react-native-cli && npm install -g react-native-cli?

@folivi Can you post ignite doctor results?

Same thing if you grab the latest version of yarn? I seem to remember issues with older yarns and new node 8.

Another thing you can try is passing --npm with your ignite command. This will try to force npm instead of yarn.

[folivi]

Hi @skellock
passing --npm doesn't help either
--debug shows:

Ignite CLI requires react-native-cli >=2.0.0 to be installed.

To install: npm i -g react-native-cli

Thx,

How when you do something like this:

cd /tmp
mkdir folivi
cd folivi
npm init -y
ignite boilerplate-install ir-boilerplate MyAwesomeApp --debug --npm

Does it tell you a more specific error?

(the tmp directory thing is so it won't go crawling up the file system directories for a node_modules directory here)

[folivi]

This works perfectly.
The project has been generated and runs fine.
Should I do this as workaround? Generate the project there then copy it to the actual workdir?

[skellock]

Wait, that works? It shouldn't. haha.

I was only trying to get at the real error message behind that swalled promise exception.

So does that work if you:

cd /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017/iginite
mkdir wtf
cd wtf
npm init -y
ignite boilerplate-install ir-boilerplate MyAwesomeApp --debug --npm

[folivi]

It only works in /tmp/folivi.
From /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017/iginite It fails with the following:

14:19:07 [ignite] running boilerplate-install command

Looks like you installed react-native globally, maybe you meant react-native-cli?
To fix the issue, run:
npm uninstall -g react-native
npm install -g react-native-cli
✖ failed to add React Native 0.45.1

The message is completely wrong because react-native is not installed globally

[skellock]

Do you have node_modules in any of the following places by any chance?

• /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017/iginite
• /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017
• /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects
• /Users/ffolivi/Documents
• /Users/ffolivi
• /Users
• /

?

[folivi]

found in: /Users/ffolivi
and /Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017/iginite

[folivi]

Solved (for my case)
I removed the react-native directory from /Users/ffolivi/npm_packages
then ignite new app in my workdir

Thank you @skellock !!!

[anthonywebb]

FWIW, I did run into this issue myself when I tried to name my app with a name that started with a number: "5guys" made my ignite install unhappy

[niknedelchev]

I had the same issue, but when I ran " sudo ignite new ProjectName " it all went fine :)

[tungnt86]

I resolved this issue by upgrade node to 11.8.0 or 10.15.0.
If you use nvm: nvm install 11.8.0
If you use n: n 11.8.0
