React-native: :app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandDebug FAILED

[john916zhang]

I get the following error message when running 'react-native run-android', and cannot get more detailed information even with --stacktrace, --info or --debug options.

:app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandDebug'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'node''

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

Seems it cannot find node in your path. Is your path setup correctly?

[john916zhang]

Yes of course. It succeeds, sometimes.

I've got the same issue. I don't think it's related to React Native or in this case Code Push, it's gradle not finding node in the path. Putting the absolute path (/usr/local/bin/node on install with Homebrew) fixes the issue for now, I'll try to find something perennial.

[seeligd]

I've seen this too - similar to @anderson916 in that it's by no means 100% failing. My workaround is to run ./gradlew --stop (which stops the daemon)

[windylcx]

@seeligd it works,thank you!

[mangogogos]

@seeligd you're the man

[king6cong]

@seeligd Thank you. But Why?

[pthrasher]

Is this related to NVM perhaps? I'm definitely using NVM, and I've seen this issue as well.

[chuckhacker]

Hi! Still experiencing this issue right now, even after running ./gradlew --stop as suggested multiple times. Any ideas?

[cskaynar]

By changing node executable path in build.gradle(app) works for me.

project.ext.react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs : ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
];

[birthmark]

@cskaynar good！

[masako-yamada]

./gradlew --stop or simply you can close your Android Studio

[gtzh110]

Still experiencing this issue right now, even after running ./gradlew --stop as suggested multiple times.

My project is native with react native.
My Environment :
android studio : 3.0 beta
gradle plugin : 3.0.0-beta7
gradle wrapper: gradle-4.1-all.zip
Any ideas?

2017-10-27, I updated my android studio to 3.0 stable version , but still experiencing this issue.

Execution failed for task ':app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandOfficialDebug'.

A problem occurred starting process 'command 'node''

[westito]

Stop daemon helps when gradle daemon not started from terminal. E.g. Android Studio launches with custom env variables.

[hatlestad]

@gtzh110 Did you ever resolve your issue? Running into the same issue myself and none of the other suggestions are working.

UPDATE: I reverted back to buildToolsVersion 25.0.0 and this error went away. It appears that in upgrading to Android Studio 3.0.0 and taking the suggestion to update buildTools to 26.0.2 seems to have caused the error.

[thanhthang20]

I got the same error with buildTools to 26.0.2 and Android Studio 3.0.0 on Mac

[olivercm]

I got the same error with buildTools to 26.0.2 and Android Studio 3.0.0 on Mac

[YuraLaguta]

I got the same error with buildTools to 26.0.2 and Android Studio 3.0.0 on Mac
@mkonicek could we reopen the issue?

[artdent]

I am seeing this as well with buildTools 26.0.2, Android Studio 3.0.0, and a Mac. Neither workaround above (./gradlew --stop or setting nodeExecutableAndArgs) helped for me. I have node available both at /usr/local/bin/node and via nvm (i.e. ~/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.1/bin/node). Here's the output from ./gradlew --stacktrace:

What's relevant there is that $PATH does not include /usr/local/bin, which is surprising and probably wrong.

[joshuapinter]

@cskaynar's solution is the correct one. Downgrading from 26 to 25 is a bandaid.

You can also specify your node executable at your _root_ build.gradle so that it applies to all sub projects, which makes sense:

ext {    
    react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs:  ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
    ]
}

To find out where your node executable is located, run which node from the terminal and replace /usr/local/bin/node with whatever the result is.

[artdent]

That's a fine workaround, although it's perhaps not workable in a team environment where the node path isn't necessarily known. But there's an actual bug here, too, where commands are being run with a bogus $PATH.

[joshuapinter]

@artdent You're 💯 right.

[sunnysk]

@artdent did u already fix the problem ? i got the same issue too ,and i dont know how to fix it

[aliceathens]

Also having the same issue after upgrading Android studio.. please help can't build or release any android apps

[joshuapinter]

@aliceathens Did you try specifying your node path, as instructed in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6875#issuecomment-345528431?

[MichaelJokAr]

not working for

ext {    
    react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs:  ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
    ]
}

project.ext.react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs : ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
];

[henrikpersson]

Try starting AS from your shell

[joshuapinter]

@a1018875550 Is that your correct node path?

[gengjiawen]

If you don't want to limit config to specific os, you can something similar:

// Android studio bug hack
if (System.properties['os.name'].contains("Mac")) {
    project.ext.react.nodeExecutableAndArgs = ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
}

[AustinHunt]

This solution does not work for me. I've got the exact same config as the others using the latest version of studio.

[hiddentao]

@joshuapinter That version worked for me, thanks!

[madhuA14]

@joshuapinter tried as specified in comment #6875. Getting error

`Error:Execution failed for task ':madhuAndroid:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandMadhuDebug'.

Process 'command '/usr/local/bin/node'' finished with non-zero exit value [1`]

[joshuapinter]

@madhuA14 What is the result if you run which node in your terminal?

[madhuA14]

@joshuapinterwhich node - /usr/local/bin/node

Here is my complete error log

Information:Gradle tasks [:madhuAndroid:assembleMadhuDebug]
Error:Cannot find module '/Users/madhua/madhu/node_modules/react-native-code-push/scripts/recordFilesBeforeBundleCommand.js'
Error:Execution failed for task ':madhuAndroid:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandMadhuDebug'.

Process 'command '/usr/local/bin/node'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

[joshuapinter]

@madhuA14 Sounds like a different error than this thread. This error is about the build not finding your node bin whereas your error seems to find it just fine but then runs into an error. I'd do a search for that error and see what you can find.

[liujb]

@cskaynar Thanks

[SudoPlz]

Just create a symbolic link like so:

Step 1:

which node

In my case that printed out /usr/local/opt/nvm/versions/node/v8.4.0/bin/node

Step 2:
Then I did

ln -s /usr/local/opt/nvm/versions/node/v8.4.0/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

and it now works.

[iOSQiao]

If your node_modules module path has been modified, so you need to react-native-code-push/android/codepush gradle to nodeModulesPath modified into corresponding node_modules module path.

[mahmoudfelfel]

For me what worked is just restarting android studio, clean project, then run again.
