React Native 0.8.0-rc Error

[MossP]

Great Plugin. Just a heads up:
In React Native 0.8.0-rc an error occurs as soon as the package is installed to node_modules regardless if it has been implemented or added to the xcode project.

Errors thrown up are deceiving as they point to every other module as the cause of the error but removing all and adding back one at a time shows this as the faulting module.

There are changes in native module declaration in fresh RN versions. Try this small fix:
#10

[MossP]

Thanks @aljs I'll take a look now. Looks like there are a few components falling foul of this.

[MossP]

That doesn't appear to be enough to fix it. I still get a multitude of other seemingly unrelated errors as soon as this component in present in the node_modules folder.

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RCTScrollViewConsts.KeyboardDismissMode.None')

I know the constants have changed in 0.8 so that may the cause. A quick attempt to re-align the variables failed but I'll dig further into it and see what I find.

[MossP]

ok, it also fails because it has react-native in its own node_modules folder, removing that at least allows the project to run and changing the require to

var RCTRefreshControl = require('NativeModules').RefreshControl;

gets closer but it still fails as soon as RCTRefreshControl.configure() is called.

I'll come back to this....

Since applying the update the component generally works but frequently triggers this error facebook/react-native#1941 Disabling this component removes the error. App will frequently fail to load initially then after pressing "reload" from the React Native debug red screen it will eventually load. Seems not to happen once bundled to the device though.

@MossP, i fixed this error ("Cannot find view with tag") by adding timeout before:

componentDidMount() {
  setTimeout(() => {
    RCTRefreshControl.configure({
      node: this.refs[SCROLLVIEWREF],
      tintColor: '#cccccc',
      activityIndicatorViewColor: '#cccccc'
    }, () => {
      this.forceUpdate();
      RCTRefreshControl.endRefreshing(this.refs[SCROLLVIEWREF]);
    }) 
  }, 100);
},

ah, @aljs.. good call. Thanks for letting me know :)

@aljs Nice work! Was wondering what you set SCROLLVIEWREF equal to? 'ScrollView'?

[MossP]

@thekennysong You set it to match the ref of your scrollview.

[RoboTeddy]

The underlying bug should be fixed by (facebook/react-native#2488), so this workaround should hopefully be unnecessary when the next version comes out!

[thekennysong]

@MossP I still have no luck with getting the refresh to work for ScrollView. I tried both @aljs code snippet above and the code in the README. Any suggestions?

[MossP]

Great news @RoboTeddy, thank you for that 👍 I look forward to it vanishing completely!

@thekennysong Are we talking about the same problem here? Do you have a code snippet?
