[renancarlos98]

Hello siddiqaQ , what you do to solve this problem?!

[fdobre]

@rickhanlonii what was the reason for closing this? Any information that could allow us to trace the cause of the issue will be greatly appreciated.

[stevelee2497]

I faced the same problem.
npx --quiet react-native config or npx.cmd --quiet react-native config
That command, if you execute in the root directory of your react native project, will produce JSON output (if everything is configured correctly).
The problem is, I did not locate my react native project in the root folder of the git repository. After then, I created another git repo and set the root folder of the repo to be the root folder of the react native project, and everything is ok then.

[JosimarGomes]

I had this same problem. In my case I was using an old version of npm (3.10.3) and all I did was upgrade to 6.12.1. It worked for me.

[rickhanlonii]

Thanks everyone for the help!

I closed this issue because it didn’t fit the template or include a meaningful description.

The comment must have got lost in the process sorry about that.

[Arwiz]

I am also facing the same problem . Is there any work around?

[musiquarc]

On my side issue 838 allowed me to solve the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled globally:

npm uninstall -g react-native react-native-cli
npm install -g react-native react-native-cli
react-native start --reset-cache
Then cleaned the project and built again.

Don't be too harsh if it doesn't work for you ;) Also, I am not 100% it helps in this case, but the interesting read that led me to the solution was issue #804, because at core it seems to be related to the build script not calling npx from the root React Native directory.

[rickhanlonii]

If anyone is still seeing this issue, please submit a new issue that conforms to the bug template and we'll take a look.

[shani-maini]

I am also facing same issue...

:ReactNative:Unexpected empty result of running 'npx.cmd --quiet --no-install react-native config' command from 'null' directory.

[malashkevich]

@rickhanlonii I've created #27707 using a template. Let me know if you nee more information.

[Emex4gman]

[rickhanlonii]

This appears to have been a bug in the react-native cli which has been fixed in the latest version, see: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues/804

[Rameshzende]

the same bug I am also facing

[mohammednur1997]

the same bug .. I ever have seen

[worione]

same

[chialuka]

I'm facing the same bug too after moving to react native 0.62

[rickhanlonii]

As mentioned in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/27707, this issue was in the react-native cli and should be fixed.

If you're still seeing this, please comment or open a new issue in the CLI.

Going to lock this so that the +1 comments don't burry this message.
