Doesn't build after project initialization

After recent update in cli-platform-android the project doesn’t start. Stating Cannot invoke method getErrorStream() on null object. I wanted to submit an issue for that package but I could not find a github repo for that.

I’m running on Windows 10 x64 and node version is 12.8.0

I’m on same status Node Version: v12.12.0 react-native --version 3.3.0-alpha.6

On Windows, npx command is “npx.cmd” and windows terminal can omit extensions for executables(i.e. bat,cmd,exe ) .so we can run npx by “npx” in the terminal, but it’s looks only in terminal (except for *.exe) I modified native_modules.gradle L.153 “npx --quiet react-native config” to “npx.cmd --quiet react-native config” ,then I could run run-android but it’s not smart and not portable.

CLI is a direct dependency of react-native and we want it to keep it this way. You can use yarn resolutions in package.json to pin to previous version:

"resolutions": {
  "@react-native-community/cli": "3.0.0-alpha.2",
  "@react-native-community/cli-platform-android": "3.0.0-alpha.2",
  "@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios": "3.0.0-alpha.2",
  "@react-native-community/cli-tools": "2.8.3"
}
