React Native Ios Error - ENOENT: no such file or directory, uv_cwd (null))
I had the same issue while building a node module and trying that in the test app. I solved it by closing and restarting the metro bundler.
The other methods I tried (but did not work for me):
- react-native upgrade
- unlink and link the module
- uninstalling the package and reinstalling.
Hope it was helpful! Cheers!
I had a similar issue and solved by switching to another directory (a non-npm project) and updating my global npm from there:
sudo npm install -g npm
then I switched back to the project and re-install the dependencies with npm install.
Seems to be an issue with the metro-bundler task. Check your terminal tabs to see if any are open from a previous project.
Control + C to end it. If you know the port it was running on, you can check the port and kill the tasks from there.
ex. sudo lsof -i :8080
Find the PID and kill it with kill -9 PID_NUMBER.
Then go back to your root project directory and run npm start to start a new Metro Bundler.
I just encountered this. I had multiple tabs open in my terminal, including one that had cdd into a now-deleted copy of my project directory.
In other words, i'd deleted the directory in a different tab and re-cloned it from Github. The other terminal tab was stuck in a 'ghost' directory.
cd out of it and back in and you should be fine.
