ios - React cannot find entry file in any of the roots

Question

I am using React Native as a Pod in my iOS project. When I try to load a view that I created with React Native I get the Error screen referring me to the Terminal window where npm is running.

In the Terminal the error I am seeing is: Error: Cannot find entry file in any of the roots:

I tried a few things, moving the file to a different location, but no luck. I did run "npm start" and I am looking for the file in "http://localhost:8081/". The current location of the file is in the same location as where I ran "npm start" from.

I am completely stuck here. Did I configure something wrong. How can I troubleshoot from here?

Answer 1

Check for the node server running in one of the bash terminal, this was probably kicked by previous ReactNative XCode project you launched earlier. Stop that process and run XCode project again, this should fix the problem.
