I’ve seen this too - similar to @anderson916 in that it’s by no means 100% failing. My workaround is to run ./gradlew --stop (which stops the daemon)

By changing node executable path in build.gradle(app) works for me.

project.ext.react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs : ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
];
