Android Error when navigate Between MFEs

[nazrighazi-cd]

Hi, I am getting this error when navigating between two MFEs.

I have two MFEs which is A and B. Both MFEs have multiple screens.

MFE A

• screen A
• screen B
• screen C

MFE B

• screen D
• screen E
• screen F

So, in my host app, I have one screen which list out icons to navigate to all screen in both MFEs. What happened is that when I navigate to screen A (MFE A), D (MFE B) and then try to navigate to screen B (MFE A), I am getting the error, and this is only happened on android devices.

Let say I'm navigating to screen A,B,C ( navigate to all screens in MFE A first ) and then navigate to screen D and back to screen A,B,C, I'm not getting the error anymore.

screen A -> navigate back -> screen D -> navigate back -> screen B = Error

Is this related to re.pack or react navigation?

Hi @nazrighazi-cd,

It looks like an issue with configuration of webpack rather than a react-navigation issue. With the information you've provided, I think it might have to do with a dependency that's being shared, can you please share your MF configuration in both MFEs?

I'll check it in the super-app-showcase as you reported that error there as well

Here is my webpack

if (!platform) { throw new Error('Missing platform'); }

process.env.BABEL_ENV = mode;

@jbroma yes, I did tried in the super-app-showcase and got the same error. Thank you.

[jbroma]

Hi @nazrighazi-cd,

I've investigated the matter inside of super-app-showcase and found the following solution:

1. add react-native-calendars to the host-app
2. add react-native-calendars to shared modules (with eager: true inside of host-app)
3. in index.js I've added the following just below the import statements: require.include('react-native-calendars')

The require.include statement makes sure the library get's included with the host-app's module and is properly shared with the rest of the super-app. This needs to be done because react-native-calendars is not used anywhere in the host-app itself.

Let me know whether that helps with your case

[nazrighazi-cd]

Hi @jbroma,

Thank you for the solution. Seems like on my app it was because of the momentjs library. I did follow the same step as you mentioned above but still getting the issue.

And for the super-app-showcase, seems like it's working on the calendar page. However, when i navigate to account page in booking, I'm getting the same error as before.

same step as before,which is

booking home page -> shopping home page -> booking calendar page -> booking account page = error.

Hi @jbroma ,

Some update on my end. Found out that the error on my app is because of number of screens I declared in mfe main navigation. I tried on super-app-showcase and seems like getting the same error.

Below is the step to recreate the error

1. Create multiple screens in booking mfe, in my case I created 10 screens. In the screens, i used the useeffect function.

2. Add all the screens in booking main navigation

3. Navigate between mfe screens will return error

booking home page -> shopping home page -> booking calendar == error

Is there any limitation on the number of screens on the mfe? or is there any solution for this issue?
