Initial setup issues

npm install hangs

Downgrade to version 5.5.1: npm install -g [email protected].

re-natal missing

Create a link: ln -sf node_modules/re-natal/index.js re-natal

enable-source-maps complains about missing metro-bundler

./re-natal enable-source-maps complains about missing metro-bundler, so it again has to be installed manually. This deletes node_modules/metro and adds node_modules/metro-bundler Note that afterwards re-natal package is gone, so again npm install re-natal.

UPDATE: should be fixed with https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/4566

react-native run desktop complaining about missing qmldir:

Error copying directory from "/path-to-status-react/node_modules/react-native/ReactQt/runtime/src/qmldir" to "/path-to-status-react/desktop/lib/React".
make[2]: *** [lib/CMakeFiles/copy-qmldir] Error 1
make[1]: *** [lib/CMakeFiles/copy-qmldir.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Can be solved by re-running npm install react-native which put the ReactQt/runtime/src/qmldir file back.

Missed web3 package issue

After last upgrade of react-native-desktop to the v.0.53.3 of original react-native appeared some incompatibility between react-native and web3 packages on npm install. Initially it installed usually fine, but after react-native desktop command execution web3 package is get removed from node_modules. Manual install of web3 by npm install web3 installs web3 package, but removes react-native package. Workaround or solution?

goog.require could not find: env.desktop.main

Occurs inside node ./ubuntu_server.js process:

Inside the app it is manifested by Waiting for Figwheel to load files. message.

App issues

Node server crashing

node ./ubuntu_server.js log:

DEBUG [status-im.utils.handlers:36] - Handling re-frame event:  :signal-event {"type":"node.crashed","event":{"error":"node is already running"}}
DEBUG [status-im.ui.screens.events:350] - :event-str {"type":"node.crashed","event":{"error":"node is already running"}}
DEBUG [status-im.utils.instabug:8] - Signal event: {"type":"node.crashed","event":{"error":"node is already running"}}
DEBUG [status-im.ui.screens.events:362] - Event  node.crashed  not handled

Solution: prevent starting Node when there is an instance already running.

Running react-native run-desktop shows blank screen

Re-run react-native run-desktop again, this should fix it.

Reload JS again.

Cleaning and setting up the app again helps.

Figwheel compilation causes app blank screen and messed up UI after reload

Solution: re-run Figwheel and react-native run-desktop.

Reload JS - blank screen

Console log for react-native run-desktop shows error 533. Solution: reload again. Still, might hang at Signing you in... step (due to node attempted to be restarted). Re-run Figwheel and react-native run-desktop

ReactButton.qml non-existent property "elide" error upon startup

qrc:/qml/ReactButton.qml:33: Error: Cannot assign to non-existent property "elide"
"Component for qrc:/qml/ReactWebView.qml is not loaded"

"Unable to construct item from component qrc:/qml/ReactWebView.qml"
"Can't create QML item for componenet qrc:/qml/ReactWebView.qml"
"RCTWebViewView" has no view for inspecting!

Reload JS does not help, restarting Figwheel/react-native might not as well. Restarting Metro bundler solved it for me.
