--generate-example fails

ggunti commented 4 years ago

Hello! If I run create-react-native-module --generate-example MultiKeyboard for example, I get the following error regarding pod --version:

check for valid pod version in ./react-native-multi-keyboard/example/ios
pod --version failure, aborting with broken example app
Error while creating library module react-native-multi-keyboard
Error: Command failed with ENOENT: pod --version

-bash: cd: react-native-multi-keyboard/example/ios: No such file or directory
MacBook-Pro-Macbook:rn_projects macbook$ cd react-native-multi-keyboard/example/ios

In case that I do not use --generate-example, everything works, but I really need also an example project.

Thank you!

Assuming that you are on a macOS host, you do have to install the pod tool before you can generate with an example app or generate any React Native app in general. I think the React Native CLI will offer to install pod for you but I like to install the tools myself. I am pretty sure I used Homebrew to install pod, which is my recommended solution.

I do think the error message should explain that the pod tool is missing and needs to be installed, already added the bug label. Thanks.

I am having the same problem on macOS and I do have pod version 1.9.1 installed.

I am having the same problem on macOS and I do have pod version 1.9.1 installed.

That does not sound right to me. Please do pod --version from your command line, show the results of pod --version, and show all relevant output for the error.

FYI I am at pod 1.8.4, will upgrade and try again when I get a chance.

pod --version is 1.9.1

@sajjad26 it looks to me like you are hitting issue #312 before hitting the issue with pod, and I am now suspecting that the ENOENT error is because of the missing template.

For me, use --example-react-native-template react-native@0.62, everything works

brodycj / create-react-native-module

--generate-example fails #357
