React Native CLI failed to determine Android project configuration. This is likely due to misconfiguration. Config output:

Ask your Question

Just created a new react-native project using npx react-native init, but after initializing the project running npx react-native run-android throws the error =>

Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native project? If your Android files are located in a non-standard location (e.g. not inside ‘android’ folder), consider setting project.android.sourceDir option to point to a new location.

while android folder is in the root dir.

I also Tried to sync the gradle files and it throws the following error =>

java.lang.Exception: React Native CLI failed to determine Android project configuration. This is likely due to misconfiguration. Config output:

i’ve followed various approaches from setting up a react-native react-native.config file to deleting and reinstalling node modules nothing seems to work while i’m still able to run my old react-native project.

Edit: I hid the comment above, but this issue only happens on Windows

This might be an issue with the glob package; I tried this sample code that looks for the AndroidManifest.xml

const glob = require('glob');
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

console.log(glob.sync(path.join('**', 'AndroidManifest.xml'), {
    cwd: 'android'
}))

With glob@7.2.0, it works, but with glob@7.2.2 it fails to return anything

7.2.2 was released 6 hours ago

Update:

Manually setting options.allowWindowsEscape to false seems to fix everything

I think it’s not meant to be released in 7.2.2

---

Edit 3:

You can add another entry in the resolutions part of your package.json, so that it installs 7.2.0 instead of 7.2.2

  "resolutions": {
    "glob": "7.2.0"
  },

There is a solution on this video… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQqYPRHTTYI after some days lookink for I found it and it solved the issue.

SOLUTION - nodeModules – Glob – common.js – options.allowWindowsScape = true…. change to “false”….
