Description

If any folder within your project directory contains a space the build will fail, a new react native project was created in folder untitled and built with no issues, and another created in folder untitled folder and failed to find a file within the directory.

../Documents/untitled folder/test/node_modules/react-native/scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh: line 56: /ios-configure-glog.sh: No such file or directory

Reproducible Demo

This is reproducible if you create a new RN project in a folder with a space.

@owinter86 can you try react-native init projectname --version [email protected] and let me know if this also happens?

[owinter86]

@radko93 I can confirm that this issue was introduced in 0.57.5 and this does not occur on 0.57.4.

[radko93]

@kelset I think it's a regression from the Xcode fix

[kelset]

uhm yeah it looks like it :/

But i can't really understand why 🤔

cc @mmccartney

BTW does the CLI allow the creation of projectNames with empty spaces...?

[radko93]

I also couldn't really get why but that's the only change that's related.
@kelset it's not about the project name, it's about the path.

[kelset]

Probably related / could give context: wix/Detox#894

[radko93]

@kelset probably not related as we don't use node for running script.
Running:

cd node_modules/react-native && scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh && cd third-party && cd glog-0.3.5 && ./configure && cd ../../../../

works with any path so it has to be something with how xcode runs the script.
It might be here but maybe @mmccartney will know more about it

Hello there 👋 by using the repro / the list of steps to reproduce, we can't actually see the reported bug on RN 0.59 so we'll close this issue. It may have something to do with your local setup, please double check that you are using the correct version of Android Studio / XCode / Android NDK / Yarn / etc.

[canpoyrazoglu]

Same issue here on RN 0.59. Lost about 5 hours because of this bug. I've removed the space from my project's path and everything worked perfectly.

[Bersaelor]

Just wasted another 2h on this exact same issue.
"react-native": "0.59.5",, Xcode 10.2.1

@Bersaelor @canpoyrazoglu I think I stated clearly that I couldn't reproduce the issue. If you still face it, it's likely because of some environmental differences. Without that information, I'm unable to help more. Please provide clear reproduction steps (repo, env info etc) on a smallest possible example and if you're sure it's a bug somewhere in RN or CLI, file a new issue accordingly. Otherwise it's not actionable.
