Description
After upgrading to RN 0.75.3 and RN CLI 14.1.0, we found that Android builds were failing. We are using RN in a monorepo with Yarn workspaces. The issue appears to be related to having symlinks in other workspaces within the same monorepo. I was able to create a simple repro repo that shows the issue. You can reproduce the issue two ways:
npx @react-native-community/cli configError: ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '.../rncli-symlink-bug/scripts/script-a/src/index.js/package.json'./gradlew cleanERROR: autolinkLibrariesFromCommand: process npx @react-native-community/cli config exited with error code: 236 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Settings file '.../rncli-symlink-bug/testsymlinkproj/android/settings.gradle' line: 3 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating settings 'android'. > ERROR: autolinkLibrariesFromCommand: process npx @react-native-community/cli config exited with error code: 236
This appears to be similar to #2490 and #2498, but none of the solutions there work.
Reproducible Demo
git clone git@github.com:brianlenz/rncli-symlink-bug.git
cd rncli-symlink-bug/
yarn install
cd testsymlinkproj/
npx @react-native-community/cli config # this will error with: Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '.../rncli-symlink-bug/scripts/script-a/src/index.js/package.json'
cd android/
./gradlew clean # this will error with: ERROR: autolinkLibrariesFromCommand: process npx @react-native-community/cli config exited with error code: 236The only way to fix the issue is to remove the symlink that is triggering the error (which shouldn't be necessary, of course):
# from the root of the rncli-symlink-bug project
rm scripts/script-a/src/index.jsThen, if you try again, the commands will work. The CLI needs to be fixed to properly handle/ignore these symlinks.
