Update layoutDirection in calls to `ReactNativeIsland::Arrange`

[Yajur-Grover]

Description

In Main.cpp, currently the call to ReactNativeIsland::Arrange() is being passed an 'undefined' layoutDirection. This change modifies the constraints object so that the layoutDirection is not undefined.

When trying to launch an example fabric app in this async-storage branch, I got the following error:

This change resolves this issue so that layoutDirection is never set to Undefined.

Platforms affected

Test plan

I initially tried following the below test plan, which I got from the PR adding New Architecture:

npm run set-react-version canary-windows
yarn
cd example
yarn install-windows-test-app --use-fabric
yarn windows

# In a separate terminal
yarn start

However, yarn windows would give me the following error:

Looking at the generated solution file Example.sln, the paths for several of the Project declarations were incorrect - e.g Microsoft.ReactNative had the path ..\\Microsoft.ReactNative\Microsoft.ReactNative.vcxproj whereas the correct path is ..\\..\node_modules\react-native-windows\Microsoft.ReactNative\Microsoft.ReactNative.vcxproj. After fixing all the instances of this path issue in Example.sln, the app was able to launch successfully.

Can you check out https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-test-app/pull/2249 and see if it fixes the paths in the solution file?

Can you check out #2249 and see if it fixes the paths in the solution file?

That change resolved the issues with the paths in the solution file.

@tido64 I ended up removing the web storage module which resolved the codegen-windows issues, and I can build the app successfully when running the app through Visual Studio:

However, when running yarn windows in example, I get the following error on the command line:

√ Found Solution: C:\new-account-repos\react-native-test-app\example\windows\Example.sln

Command failed. Re-run the command with --logging for more information.

This appears to be the same error that you got in the comment here. Was wondering if you could repro the same on your end.

@tido64 closing this for now as this PR fixes the logic in RNW when passing in undefined for layoutDirection.
