Description

As mentioned here, this must be fixed but i'm getting this error after using react-native init MyTestProject.

Reproducible Demo

Simply use react-native init MyTestProject and you will get this error!
Also, i tried to set the Project Settings to Legacy Build System and cleaned the build folder but no result!

As a temporary fix, you could navigate to ..\node_modules\react-native\third-party\glog-0.3.5 and:

./configure make

@facebook-github-bot duplicate #19529

If you use Yarn, running yarn --check-files usually fix that for me (also you may want to change Node to latest LTS)

This bug is still in the 0.57.5 so i opened this issue!

Still we are facing same issue in React 0.57.5..

Same issue dragged from previous versions. After running #19529 workarounds and running react-native run-ios, config.h disappears from /src/base and app does not run. Still need to fix this.

Same issue here, experiencing it after ejecting the default created app with expo init. I guess would get the same issue with react-native init..

I've tried with ..node_modules\react-native\third-party\glog-0.3.5
and when I run ./configure , I receive this error:
checking whether build environment is sane...
configure: error: unsafe absolute working directory name

Note, I'm using XCode 10.0, Legacy build system, RN 0.57.1, yarn 1.12.3

My react-native info is the following.

I have been able to run ./configure and config.h appears in src folder. However, when running react-native run-ios all those files disappear.

You can use ./configure and then make in the ..\node_modules\react-native\third-party\glog-0.3.5 folder and then clean your build folder from XCode as a temporary solution!

@kelset I think this is not fixed yet (despite of mentioned in the changelog)

[kelset]

The repro steps are really not clear, I don't understand what causes this issue.

[brascene]

I can confirm that with react-native init everything works well, the previous issue was there because the folder where the project was created, was in iCloud... and that messed up the relative paths, after I created project in another directory, no issues. Sorry for taking your time :)

Actually, react-native fails for me but expo init works like a charm.

[hramos]

@MohamadKh75 can you verify if 1/ this is still an issue on 0.58.0-rc.1, and 2/ if so, include a detailed list of steps to repro?

[MohamadKh75]

@hramos i'll reach my Mac in a week! Will do that as soon as i can!

[MohamadKh75]

@hramos i used 0.58.0-rc.1 and i can confirm that didn't get the error for 'config.h' file not found BUT i faced new issue.

I'll create a new issue for that!

[TRIPTI-JAIN]

In the Terminal, navigate to the react-native/third-party/glog folder inside node_modules (for me, this was cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4)
Once actively in this folder, run ../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh
Glog is configured and the required config.h header file is created for Xcode to find
