Error init project in docker container: no such file or directory, open 'app.json'

[s3bul]

I try install app in docker container, but i got error:

Can't read JSON file: /root/work/test/app.json
└─ Cause: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/work/test/app.json'

I run this commands:

• docker run -ti --rm node:10.16-alpine sh
• yarn global add react-native-cli expo-cli vue-native-cli
• mkdir ~/work && cd ~/work && vue-native init test

Next after set name and use yarn to install, i got the error.

Any tips?

@s3bul What do you see when you list the contents of the test directory?

I'm having the same issue with windows 10.

If I run it with git bash I have the next error

and when I use powershell I could get the project folder but with the same error of the app.json

Okay, I tried to run the init project at home with my mac and I don't have any problem the init works perfect. Maybe it could be a proxy problem from my work network or some incompatibility with windows 10.

I will try later to run it on a windows VM.

This is a very common issue when behind a firewall/proxy that is not configured to handle X-Content-Type-Options correctly.

Basically, GH is serving up the mime-type as text or "not JSON" and that header is supposed to inform proxies that it is still okay. I have recently ran into this issue at work and worked with our IS teams to resolve it versus having to whitelist each JSON URL we needed. I recommend doing something like a wget or curl to the app.json that is distributed on GH and used when generating an app from vue-native init to see the actual reason for it not being downloaded/blocked.

+1 - Can Reproduce this error on WIndows 10

[Saganic]

+1 macOS Catalina 10.15 (19A583)

EDIT: Fixed in Catalina by removing expo-cli and vue-native-cli globals, updating npm global default directory and re-installing both packages. Appears to be a permission issue in expo-cli when upgrading from Mojave.

I try install app in docker container, but i got error:

Can't read JSON file: /root/work/test/app.json
└─ Cause: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/work/test/app.json'

I run this commands:

* `docker run -ti --rm node:10.16-alpine sh`

* `yarn global add react-native-cli expo-cli vue-native-cli`

* `mkdir ~/work && cd ~/work && vue-native init test`

Next after set name and use yarn to install, i got the error.

Any tips?

Now it's working.

Of course when I use newer node image, e.g. 10.22.1-alpine
