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"
  },

Adding resolutions in package.json worked thanks a lot @marqroldan

[marqroldan]

@marqroldan where should i update the options

It's found in node_modules/glob/common.js around line 114

Also, @ckmonish2000, is it alright if you leave this issue open until the maintainers can take a look? Or until the glob author responds to my comment here isaacs/node-glob#468 (comment)

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

@marqroldan could you try overriding glob to 7.2.1 and see if it works?

[marqroldan]

@nicolas377 Hello, 7.2.1 was never released, but setting the option allowWindowsEscape to false worked, so I was hoping that for 7.2 it would be false by default but true on 8.0

[nicolas377]

This has nothing to do with isaacs/node-glob#468, that's a feature targeting v8. This project uses v7, which means that this is affected by isaacs/node-glob#471. It will be fixed by the upstream PR tied to that issue. Hopefully, the v7 branch will have the fix by today.

thankss, solved for me

common.js and change options.allowWindowsEscape to false

[MarcosGoncalvesPires]

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”….

[francoders]

changing the 'options.allowWindowsEscape' to false works, I hope you fix the version soon. Thank you!

Please remember that modifying node_modules is always a bad plan! Your edits will be overwritten every time a reinstallation takes place, and your edits will not transfer to git. I have a PR up to fix the issue on glob (isaacs/node-glob#473). Until it gets merged, please override all glob dependencies to 7.2.0 by adding the following to package.json:

  "overrides": {
    "glob": "7.2.0"
  }

[nicolas377]

Glob 7.2.3 has been released, which has fixed this issue.

[isaacs]

Should be fixed by glob@7.2.3. If it isn't, please post a new issue at https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob/issues, ideally with a reproduction case. Thanks!

[nicolas377]

update the glob dependency to ^7.2.3 in your package.json, then run npm i

package.json

  "dependencies": {
-    "glob": "^7.2.0"
+    "glob": "^7.2.3"
  }
