Error

facebook::react::Recoverable: Could not open file ReactNativeDevBundle.js: No such file or directory

Environment

• react-native-code-push version: 5.3.2
• react-native version: 0.55.3
• iOS/Android/Windows version: Android 7 and 8
• Does this reproduce on a debug build or release build? Android debug only
• Does this reproduce on a simulator, or only on a physical device? Both

Why do debug builds even use code-push? I thought debug builds bypass code-push? Only release builds should use code-push, right?

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi @ujwal-setlur,

Thanks for reporting!
I reproduced your issue. I'll investigate it a little bit later.

Thanks,
Alexander

[alexandergoncharov]

About debug builds with code-push: I'm afraid it is No, debug builds use code-push functionality. But if you will try to update app throw codePush with enabling liveReload server You would just get app version which you use on liveReload server. It may seems that update isn't working.

From documentation(Here: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push#releasing-updates):

NOTE: CodePush updates should be tested in modes other than Debug mode. In Debug mode, React Native app always downloads JS bundle generated by packager, so JS bundle downloaded by CodePush does not apply.

Thanks,
Alexander

Any Update with this? Dealing with the same issue

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi all,
Sorry for long delay.

Found that the issue is reproducing only in Live Reload mode.
As hot workaround you can just comment your CodePush calling during developing your app. But don't forget to uncomment it when you will release your updates.
If you would like to test CodePush logic(that your updates successful will be installed to your user devices) you should use only Release build.
Investigation of the reason of issue in progress.

Thanks,
Alexander

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi all,
Sorry for long delay.

I opened PR for this issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push/pull/1332.
Could please someone test it?

Thanks,
Alexander

[ujwal-setlur]

I will test it today. Thanks!

[alexandergoncharov]

@ujwal-setlur, Thanks for help!

Please let me know about your results.

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi all,

I'm going to close this issue as fix already in master. This changes will be available in the next publish.
Feel free to reopen this if you have any questions or issue reproduce again.

Thanks,
Alexander

Hi @g33ktony ,
Thanks for reporting!

Could you please provide reprosteps as I can't reproduce it after fix? All works correct for me.

Hi, i have the same issue

Hi @nitrosalat ,

[Devlin556]

Hi @alexandergoncharov . I have the same issue in an Android app. It happens after handle installation code-push bundle and only on Dev version of the app.

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi @Devlin556,
Thanks for reporting!

Could you please provide reprosteps as I can't reproduce it after fix?
Also, please ensure that you use fresh react-native-code-push version.

[wenkangzhou]

I have the same issue in Android.
I don't Enable Live Reload.
It happens after i press install button,and wait few minutes after the bundle download finish,it will show the error messge.

React Native 0.56.0
react-native-code-push 5.4.1

[g33ktony]

I have the same issue now on react-native-code-push v5.4.2 and react-native 0.57.3

I think is related to the change of the app id that was com.innboard and now is cl.innboard
Don't know if there is something we can do to reset this config in codepush cli when releasing an update to a deployment

[g33ktony]

@ujwal-setlur have you changed the app id before configuring code-push? I see the one you have is different from default

[ujwal-setlur]

@g33ktony, nope I didn't. Thing to note is that this happens only on debug build for Android. App id is the same between release and debug builds

[alexandergoncharov]

Hi @wenkangzhou, @g33ktony , @ujwal-setlur ,

I see that you all have the issue like that. Could you please provide logs, versions, reprosteps or dummy project with reproducing issue?

Thanks,

[yasoza]

react-native 0.56.0
react-native-code-push 5.3.5
and also tested it with
react-native-code-push 5.4.2
code-push was working fine some days before, but recently I did one npm install and it messed up everything. Red screen shows and on
react-native log-android shows this

and also it makes app crash in release version.

[yasoza]

Got it working, after code-pushing the current code. Suggestion test staging one first. and note down the current version, so that you can roll-back to right version. working good, in release version also.
I think the problem was, react-native-code-push pushing the older binaries to updated code.

[baicuhaha]

Sorry I have this problem too RN:0.57.7 , "react-native-code-push": "^5.5.0",

[g33ktony]

I have updated to react-native-code-push: 5.5.0 and I still having the same issue

If use Debug mode: react-native run-android, happen this issue;

@alexandergoncharov
Anyway, have any better way to test code push in debug mode?
