Module Load Error: '@react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js' Not Found

I’ve started a new React Native project for Android using TypeScript and run the command npx react-native run-android, but I encountered an error about a missing module. Although I confirmed that the file exists in the expected folder, the system still cannot locate it. I’m looking for guidance on what might be causing this unexpected behavior and how to resolve the issue.

Below is a sample snippet I created to simulate the module loading process:

function initiateApp() {
  console.log('Attempting to load module...');
  // Simulate checking for the module
  const moduleAvailable = false;
  if (!moduleAvailable) {
    throw new Error("Module '@rn-community/cli/build/launcher.js' not found.");
  }
}

initiateApp();

Any insights or suggestions to troubleshoot this error would be appreciated.

Hey Ethan85! I ran into a similar snag not too long ago and found that sometimes it’s a cache thing causing the issue. I tried a complete wipe of my node_modules and a fresh install, which surprisingly did the trick on my end. Have you given that a shot? I’m also wondering if maybe there could be a misconfiguration in your metro config or package.json that’s causing the system to point to a wrong path. I’d love to know if tweaking those settings might be what finally fixes it on your setup. Anybody else experiencing something similar has any other cool troubleshooting tips? :blush:
