Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

This issue should be fixed in 0.14.2. Please try upgrading and close this issue if it's fixed for you.

@ide thanks, fix it 👍

Hi, I'm still getting this error. Just installed fresh today, package.json specifies 0.14.2.

../node_modules/react-native/packager/react-native-xcode.sh: line 45: react-native: command not found
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

react-native-cli is also installed globally.

$ react-native -v #0.1.7

Any ideas?

[brancusi]

If I add this to the shell file right above the call to react-native it builds:

PATH=${PATH}:/Users/aramz/.node/bin

$ which react-native #/Users/aramz/.node/bin//react-native

So my path is somehow messed up.

@ide I am trying to start a new project and get the following error

../node_modules/react-native/packager/react-native-xcode.sh: line 45: react-native: command not found
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

previously I use nvm to manage node version, and this issue point that Xcode path can't find nvm path correctly, you could try my method below ..

open your react-native-xcode.sh which live [your project root location]/node_modules/react-native/packager, and add below two lines at begin.

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm use stable

maybe current stable node version is v5.0.0, when you finished above try, re-run your Xcode.

hope make sense.

react-native-xcode.sh will source nvm.sh for you in RN 0.14.2. Perhaps you need to run nvm alias default node to make sure the sourcing actually does something?

I'm not seeing a nvm.sh in my ~/.nvm directory. I only see an alias, bin, nvm-exec and versions. That's probably why I'm getting a failed build. But I never did any modifications to nvm so this is weird.

EDIT: I also used homebrew to install it.
EDIT 2: I guess homebrew is the problem? #3037

[samueleaton]

I am confirming my second edit in my last comment. I uninstalled nvm from homebrew and installed it using the recommended curl method. Now it compiles.

Had this issue, now resolved. It was a result of using prefix option (for installed packages) in npm configuration, which in turn was breaking nvm, which hosed the script.

nvm-sh/nvm#855

I ran into this issue and I'm not running nvm:

../node_modules/react-native/packager/react-native-xcode.sh: line 45: react-native: command not found
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

The react-native-xcode.sh script is run as $USER but it's not getting my environment $PATH. (I use the prefix config option in .npmrc)
Here's the $PATH var within react-native-xcode.sh:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/libexec:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Tools:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

As a workaround I added this right above the call to react-native bundle:

PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"
