Description

WebStorm could launch Metro Bundler and iOS simulator correctly In React Native version 0.56.

But in the 0.57 version with the same configuration, development environment and softwares, it can't launch iOS simulator. (Metro Bundler is correctly launched.)

I have no idea about this issue. Please how to fix this problem?

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.

The ":rewind:Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.

so... what should i do ?

Same issue, WebStorm starts the metro bundler but does not execute the run-ios command in parallel

[imrepapp]

With RN 0.56.x it's working like a charm.
Workaround for 0.57.x: remove "Start React Native Bundler" from before launch section in the configuration editor and start RNB manual in a Terminal window.

I am going to guess the issue in here is the introduction of the react native metro bundler as opposed of what was used before that.

I imagine this is an issue that needs to be raised with jetbrains as opposed to facebook.

[Annihil]

Unfortunately it is not the reason, RN 0.56 already had the metro bundler...

[imrepapp]

The newest EAP version of WebStrom is working well.

@imrepapp Indeed, fixed on WS 2018.3 EAP Build 183.3975.16 with React Native 0.57.4 👍

I have updated to the latest versions of React Native (v0.57.4) and WebStorm (2018.2.5).
But still can't start normally, so I guess the real thing should be WebStorm 2018.3.
I am full of expectations for WebStorm 2018.3.

If this issue is not related to react native, it should be closed as the facebook team will have little to do here. Instead, this feedback should be directed to jetbrains so they can fix the environment.

However, 0.56 and 0.57 have different results in the same WebStorm environment.
I don’t know why.

it works well with WebStorm 2018.3.
