React-native-mapbox-gl: error while installing "npm i" to test the example

[amirmatin]

This problem has been mentioned before in in the issues section here
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/5025

However I am still seeing this problem.. ..
To be clear I am getting the following error

npm ERR! addLocal Could not install D:\Map_folder\react-native-mapbox-gl-master\mapbox-react-native-mapbox-gl-6.0.2.tgz

Is there finally a solution for this ?

Thanks

What version of npm are you using? That error is saying that npm pack is failing

[amirmatin]

@nitaliano So the error happens when I try to install npm in the example folder of mapbox-gl.
Basically I have downloaded react-native-mapbox-gl-master, unzip it, navigate to example folder and try to run npm i. this is where this error occure
thanks

@nitaliano I downgraded my RN to 0.49.5 and now getting a different error when i try npm i. please see log below

What type of shell are you running npm install in? You need to make sure it's a bash shell and that you're on a newer version of npm

[amirmatin]

@nitaliano Im on widows, visual studio code running "cmd"..

@amirmatin never got it to work either on windows cause of one file missing in the gitignore, and some other windows particularities of windows versus linux file name if I recall, but no problem for the install on ubuntu, I didn't get android studio there to get any further. I love to see it on windows though, despite what you think of windows, I got no choice

[nitaliano]

I'm going to port the bash script over to node, so it will be easier to deal with cross platform OS issues

[amirmatin]

@GuillotJessica An ugly hack to run this on windows is to compile the code first on a mac and then use that example project in windows ..
but even then I am only able to run the example code and so far I haven't been able to add this library to my project.. I am afraid there is a HUGE lack of documentation specially when it is a subscription based service ...

@amirmatin Try to remove react-native-mapbox-gl from package.json. Then run npm i react-native-mapbox-gl --save && npm i

[amirmatin]

@TarasDumych I got it to work removing the package and manually installing for Android. A problem that I have at the moment is when I use offline maps and close the application, the second time I try to open the app, it crashes then the next time opens fine ...

[nitaliano]

@amirmatin add textureMode as a prop to your mapview it should help prevent the crash, if you're using master

@TarasDumych Good. thanks
