Hermes on RN 0.61.1 returns error 2 on Linux

Hi I am trying to upgrade react native from 0.60.4 to 0.61.1. We didn’t use Hermes on 0.60.4 but wanted to try it with the latest release. After upgrading to 0.61.1 I can build fine without Hermes. When I enable Hermes I get the following error message:

Task :app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets […] info Copying 51 asset files info Done copying assets /home/vincent/repos/vos6-mobile/android/app/build/generated/assets/react/release/index.android.bundle:734:533: error: ‘)’ expected at end of function call

This is followed by a massive long javascript code, which I didn’t include here, then followed by:

Task :app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where: Script ‘/home/vincent/repos/vos6-mobile/node_modules/react-native/react.gradle’ line: 143

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets’. Process ‘command ‘…/…/node_modules/hermes-engine/linux64-bin/hermes’’ finished with non-zero exit value 2

I then ran ./gradlew bundleRelease --stacktrace which gave the same error as above with the added stacktrace below

Steps To Reproduce

1. Upgraded from 0.60.4 to 0.61.1 using this link
2. Enabled hermes

Not sure if I can provide other useful info at this stage.

Thanks.

The issue has been fixed in react-native-url-polyfill, I would recommend using that instead of whatwg-url directly.
