Command 'wipe node_modules' failed with code: 1

When I run the command npx react-native clean-project-auto I get the following error and the process terminates.

Error running 'wipe node_modules': rm:

Is the node_modules folder empty before running the command?

[sushrut-desora]

No, it wasn't empty before I ran the command. Even after I encountered the error, the node_modules folder was present(typically it is deleted if the command succeeds). Although I did not check if it was empty after the error. I ended up deleting it manually in this case.
I tried running the command a few times this morning and did not encounter the error. I will try to reproduce the issue and give additional details. Although the node_modules folder wasn't completely deleted and wasn't empty either. Did something change in version 3.6.4? I believe it used to completely delete the node_modules folder previously and throw an error on next run(as expected) saying something like "clean-project" not found. Now I can keep running npx react-native clean-project-auto repeatedly without even doing npm install.

I got the same error. node_modules is not empty before, but after running the command and getting this error, node_modules/.bin is gone, so no commands will work anymore, e.g npx react-native clean-project will fail after that due to the react-native command no longer being found. Need to run rm -rf node_modules && yarn to get it back

[pmadruga]

A few questions:

• Which node version are you running?
• Which @react-native-community/cli version do you have?
• Does this happen every time?
• At which task does this happen for you? (Some happen on the wipe node_modules and some on the clean android project)

Thanks. I can't seem to replicate it but let's get your feedback and fix this asap.

UPDATE: Nevermind I think my ./gradlew folder just didn't exist. It would be nice if it skipped the step if the folder doesn't exist instead of erroring out just to avoid confusion hahaha.

[pmadruga]

That makes sense. Yes, definitely think there should be a fallback.

I’m also working on releasing a version that outputs a log file. A lot of times I can’t replicate the community’s problems so the log would help.

[OnurVar]

@pmadruga, I believe this is a concurrency problem. It seems like executeTask is returning a promise, but on index.js we're not waiting promise to resolve/reject.

if (options.getWipeiOSBuild()) {
  executeTask(tasks.wipeiOSBuildFolder);
}
if (options.getWipeiOSPods()) {
  executeTask(tasks.wipeiOSPodsFolder);
}
if (options.getWipeSystemiOSPodsCache()) {
  executeTask(tasks.wipeSystemiOSPodsCache);
}

In other words, we're trying to execute these tasks at the same time without knowing which one will be resolved/rejected first. This is causing node_modules to be removed before tasks.cleanAndroidProject which is probably throwing the above.

If I execute the process with flag --keep-node-modules, everything works fine on my end.

[pmadruga]

I believe the tasks are mutually exclusive. But I'm puzzled by this:

If I execute the process with flag --keep-node-modules, everything works fine on my end.

Can someone in this thread that has this problem try the solution @OnurVar mentioned? Thanks!

[sushrut-desora]

A few questions:

• Which node version are you running?
• Which @react-native-community/cli version do you have?
• Does this happen every time?
• At which task does this happen for you? (Some happen on the wipe node_modules and some on the clean android project)

Thanks. I can't seem to replicate it but let's get your feedback and fix this asap.

Node Version: v16.1.0

Does this happen every time: yes
Happens at 'wipe node_modules' and fails to delete the node_modules folder.

[pmadruga]

Just to give an update - I've been working on this fix (although I can't seem to replicate it). Progress is happening (despite being slightly slow).

[pmadruga]

Hi everyone,

As you know, I can't replicate it, but I've made the tasks truly asynchronous to avoid concurrency problems. For this, I need help with testing so please give it a go using

npm install react-native-clean-project@alpha

which will install version 4.0-alpha. One downside is that the tasks will take longer, but I'm investigating whether using threads will speed up the process. I also had to bump the minimum required node version, hence the jump to version 4 - but hopefully it won't cause breaking changes (min version of node is node >= 10).

I also need a code review on #84.
Looking forward to your feedback!
