[blbradley]

Hello!

• please provide the version of installed library and RN project.

I've tried this on both node 6 and 8.

• a sample code snippet/repository

Removing react-native-fetch-blob as a dependency does not produce this behavior.

[blbradley]

Here is a repository that exhibits the behavior.

[blbradley]

Interesting, this behavior does not occur in Node 10.

i have same error:

maybe it's need to rename in several places react-native-fetch-blob -> rn-fetch-blob
sorry my english...

[blbradley]

hey @Ryabchikus

Thanks for the response. This is not the same issue.

[blbradley]

I'm going to close this issue. I originally opened it because I thought react-native link was required to for a new app build. The issue being fixed in Node 10 should be sufficient.

[Traviskn]

@Ryabchikus It seems when I renamed the project to rn-fetch-blob I missed several occurrences of react-native-fetch-blob in the codebase. That should be fixed in the newest release just published.

@blbradley Thanks, sorry I wasn't able to dig into your original issue more, hopefully it won't be an issue for too many others with newer node versions!

[blbradley]

No worries. Just wanted to report the issue and the potential workaround for others. It's a less critical issue after I discovered that react-native link does not need to be part of a build in a CI process for react-native apps.

Thanks for taking over the project!

[Ryabchikus]

@Traviskn
Thanks a lot for fix!
Big problem is gone, now 2 small minor problems:
1) command "react-native link" does not finished:
`> react-native link

rn-fetch-blob will not automatically add Android permissions after 0.9.4 please run the following command if you want to add default permissions :

    RNFB_ANDROID_PERMISSIONS=true react-native link

rnpm-install info Linking rn-fetch-blob ios dependency
rnpm-install info Platform 'ios' module rn-fetch-blob has been successfully linked
rnpm-install info Linking rn-fetch-blob android dependency
rnpm-install info Platform 'android' module rn-fetch-blob has been successfully linked
rnpm-install info Linking assets to ios project
rnpm-install info Linking assets to android project
rnpm-install info Assets have been successfully linked to your project`

that's all, it's not return to command line.

2) string "compile project(':rn-fetch-blob')" not adds to "androidappbuild.gradle"
I add it manually and package works.
