Maximum update depth exceeded

[SikoraKam]

I use react-native-navigation so I have to keep multiple Providers, one for each screen with tour. So far I implemented tour for two screens and everything was fine. But on third screen, using useTourGuideController() causes error "Maximum update depth exceeded...". When I tried to debug I saw that functions stop and start cause rerenders. Did anybody has similar problem?

I was also having the same issue. I had to use TourGuideZoneByPosition in place of TourGuideZone. I'd recommend using Dimensions to find the exact position of the tour overlay.

Use the TourGuideZoneByPosition after importing like this

const { canStart, start, stop, eventEmitter, TourGuideZoneByPosition, tourKey, } = useTourGuideController();

And not import { TourGuideZoneByPosition, useTourGuideController, } from 'rn-tourguide';

Having the same issue trying to set a guided tour on an element in a TopNavigator element, the lib was working so perfectly everywhere else :( Even with TourGuideZoneByPosition it fails as soon as i add the prop isTourGuide with the same error

Thats because start exported from the hook is unstable. Its changing after every render. When eslint complains that it needs to be part of the useEffect dependency array, just ignore this warning. The dependency array must only contain canStart like the example code shows. It started to work flawlessly then.

  // this works
 React.useEffect(() => {
    canStart && start()
  }, [canStart])

  // This makes eslint happy but causes infinite render loops
 React.useEffect(() => {
    canstart && start()
  }, [canStart, start])

I am still suspicious of libs that don't export stable functions from their hooks what other re-render problems they may cause. @xcarpentier any idea why the function is not stable?
