Windows: Cannot start server in new window because no terminal app was specified about cli HOT 31 CLOSED

I fix my problem with

npx react-native run-android --terminal powershell

however I want to use only npx react-native run-android

from cli.

Same here. I upgraded from [email protected] to [email protected], and then, the problem occurred.

I found a temporary solution that is to use npm run start or npm start instead of npm run android mentioned in this stackoverflow page

from cli.

on MacOS M1 14.2.1 (23C71)

react-native run-android --terminal terminal

worked for me, and then for easy access, I added this under the scripts in package.json file

"android": "react-native run-android --terminal terminal",
"ios": "react-native run-ios --terminal terminal",

and then yarn android works fine

from cli.

Sure, I've recorded 2 GIFs below. When I run 'yarn android:test' it is the following npm script:

react-native run-android --active-arch-only --mode=devDebug

The first video, you can see that even after waiting for over a minute, the Android build doesn't start. You have to press a in the Metro terminal but then all of the parameters are lost

This second video, I run the same script with Metro already running and the Android build starts immediately

from cli.

Same issue, trying to solve it.

temporary is run script: npx react-native start and after that type mode a

Try running the following command:😊

npx react-native start

Check if your app works fine in RN 0.72.8

Hey @Navpan18, @coder-xiaomo can you try passing via --terminal flag a path to executable file of your terminal? and say if that is working :)

This works for me. However it only opens a new window and doesn't automatically run andoid, it acts as if you've run react-native start only

Yes. I am also getting that error.
But don't know how to fix it. I am unable to run the app on neither physical device nor android studio.

from cli.

@machadinha @Shreyas-29 for you it is not working because you don't have ANDROID_HOME env variable provided - please re-read an error message and try setting in your system setting - also it may be helpful to run npx react-native doctor and make sure it is passing :)

Its resolved I thinks

npx react-native run-android --terminal C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

from cli.

Why when i run npx react-native@latest init PAP in the final it gives me this im in windowns

from cli.

npm run start
npm start
npx react-native start
Try the above commands~

from cli.

Simple Solution
Run npx react-native start
and after when metro starts successfully and gives you Dev server ready options hit a to run on android and i to run on iOS.
it works for me on android with react native version 0.73.
With react-native version 0.73 it aslo require you to have Java jdk 17.

Eu resolvo meu problema com

npx react-native run-android --terminal powershell

no entanto, quero usar apenas npx react-native run-Android

funcionou!!

from cli.

Running: npx react-native run-ios or run ios or react-native run-ios --terminal terminal
Error: EACCES: permission denied

Running: sudo npx react-native run-ios or sudo run ios or sudo react-native run-ios --terminal terminal
Error: Cannot start server in new window because no terminal app was specified.

Fix: As suggested above I ran npm run start with my simulator open. It did not start the app up for me like it usually does but I was able to click into the app and it was running.

MacOS Sonoma 14.1
Apple M3 Pro
React Native v0.73
