Compatibility Issue: Unable to generate application (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND)

mrtklein commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug

When attempting to generate an application using the JHipster React Native blueprint, I encountered an error related to module resolution and Node.js version compatibility.

Instructions To reproduce

jhipster --blueprints react-native WARNING! Since JHipster v8, the jhipster command will not use the locally installed generator-jhipster. If you want to execute the locally installed generator-jhipster, run: npx jhipster

as workaround

clone the generator-jhipster-react-native repository
run npm i and npm link in the cloned directory to link the local generator
Apply the generator as described in the README

This bypasses the module resolution issue
