rootDir error

[jasonkuhrt]

I'm getting the following error, following the given instructions in the readme. Am I doing something wrong?

I haven't seen that before. Can you post your tsconfig.json file?

[jasonkuhrt]

Yup this was related to a badly configured tsconfig.json file. I had this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2015",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "jsx": "react-native",
    "outDir": "build",
    "rootDir": "source",
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "preserveConstEnums": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  },
  "include": ["./source/**/*.ts", "./source/**/*.tsx", "./typings.d.ts"],
  "exclude": ["App.js", "App.test.js", "build", "node_modules"],
  "compileOnSave": true
}

But the following change fixed things for me:

❯ gd tsconfig.json
