Reproducible Demo

react-native init helloworld --version 0.59.10

[mindlapse]

Issue appears on multiple npm versions, including npm@next and npm@5.10.0, and with node 10.16.0 (LTS)

[ekwoodrich]

Really struggling with this, experienced the same error on node v10.16.0 and node v12.7.0 with npm@6.10.0.

[mindlapse]

Affects react-native 0.59.0 to 0.59.10 that have the "@react-native-community/cli": "^1.2.1" dependency.

Does not impact react-native 0.60.0 and above with the "@react-native-community/cli": "^2.0.1" dependency.

This just started happening within the past 24 hours

Gonna fix that once I have access to my workstation. In the meantime (and generally in future, global cli is unnecessary now) use npx: npx react-native init App -- version 0.59.10. It will use the latest cli with 0.59 template.

[mindlapse]

Thank you for the fast response! As expected, the same issue is appearing with npx react-native init App --version 0.59.10

[thymikee]

Bummer, looks like npx is taking some local RN of yours instead of from network

[thymikee]

Published a fix. Can you try again?

[mindlapse]

I'm seeing the same error (after removing package-lock.json, trying with npx and with the CLI, and npm cache clean --force, and then on another machine running a CircleCI build - same thing appears)

[thymikee]

Does it happen with yarn?

[abhrp-hs]

Resolved this currently by forcing v1.10.0 of the library in package.json. Working fine with node v11.0.0 and npm v6.10.0

[haohongwei]

In a computer with ubuntu, I met with this problem.
But in a Mac, it works well.
I do not know whether it is related with computer system.
