Error: Invalid FileSystem URI since 19.0.0

Hi,

First, thanks for all your hard work, I enjoy a lot using expo for my app project and can’t wait to keep going on with it.

But today I tried to update my project from expo 18 to expo 19, as explained on this tutorial

Firstly I encountered an issue with react-native-svg. The article says that expo updated to 5.3.0 (but found 5.2.0 in the dependencies) and I had to manually apply this PR to remove the first issue.

But I still get stucked now with this issue:

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0): Error: Invalid FileSystem URI 'ExponentAsset-8599704930316b431e827d8e63e916bf.ttf', make sure it's in the app's scope.

I deleted the node_modules folder as explained, quit Expo XDE multiple times, restarted a few dozens of times too. I searched a lot for this issue but found nothing currently. It was working perfectly fine before the update and I didn’t change anything apart from what was explained in the blog’s article.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah that’s the old JS. rm -rf node_modules/ && npm i will get you the new stuff if your package.json is updated.

Simply updating package.json will not affect the change in your node_modules/ directory which is where the JS is bundled from. Often also simply updating package.json and running npm i or npm i <packagename> will also not successfully update the package. An rm -rf node_modules/ is good to be sure.

This:

Delete your project’s node_modules directory and run npm install again (or use yarn, we love yarn)

here: https://blog.expo.io/expo-sdk-v19-0-0-is-now-available-821a62b58d3d points at this being a necessity.

I don’t know why but this time that did the trick! Probably some bad deletion on my previous tries, had to run sudo from the command line to make it properly.

I still have a strange behaviour from the app but I’ll probably fix it soon, most of it is working, thanks a lot 😃
