Autolinking task from example app fails, after adding codegen config to example app. #825
Description
Description
Hi,
Android only, I have no idea about iOS
I tried to add a TurboModule to the example app. This TurboModule is only needed for the example app, so I added it to the example app only, not to the library itself. Adding TurboModules and FabricViews to the library worked without problems
For this I added a codegenConfig entry to ./example/package.json, adjusted codegenConfig.name, codegenConfig.android.javaPackageName. And added a ./example/src/NativeExample.ts module. And tried to start the example app, so that codegen can generate some code and I can start to build the module in java/kotlin.
The app didn't start (expected because the java side module didn't implement the methods yet). But the error was with autolinking:
Full error:

Thats not the problem: The package name is react-native-mapsforge-vtm, and the directory is react-native-mapsforge-vtm-new-arch
That part is super weird:

autolinkLibrariesWithApp() I went back in git history to a state were I know its stable. But the example app won't start anymore. Same error.
I tried to delete some generated code: rm yarn.lock; rm -rf node_modules/; rm -rf example/node_modules; rm -rf android/generated; rm -rf example/android/generated rm -rf example/android/.gradle; rm -rf android/.gradle; rm -rf example/android/.idea; yarn cache clean; yarn install
But still. the example app won't start, and the error is the same.
I navigated to another directory and cloned the project from git. But even there, I get the same error when I try to start the example app. This commit should work: https://github.com/jhotadhari/react-native-mapsforge-vtm-new-arch/tree/bd0cdca7cb43409ecba7922cb00b9b0de83ba498
I tried to install react-native-clean-project in the root and in the example. But it doesn't help.
It seems there is something cached outside of the repository, but I just can't find it.
I had the same issue some days ago. After installing https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-hardwarekey-event as a dependency for a library.
After searching hours for the source of the error, I started a new project and copied the files over.
- What kind of caches have to be deleted to start the example app again? from a state where I know it works.
- Is it actually possible to add TurboModules inside the example app, without adding them to the library itself? (I know that it works with legacy native modules)
- if yes, how?
- if not, how to prevent that the example app becomes impossible to start?
