Error linking module

[tafelito]

Hi, I tried to use this package but when I do the link it throws this error and it won't build

child_process.js:526
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Command failed: node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js link react-native-spinkit && node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js link react-native-linear-gradient
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-spinkit android dependency
rnpm-install info Android module react-native-spinkit has been successfully linked
rnpm-install ERR! Something went wrong while linking. Error: Expected "/*" or ";" but "\"" found.

I'm using RN Version 0.44 on Android 6.0

@tafelito may I know what OS you use? Windows/Linux/Mac OS X ?

[tafelito]

@jacklam718 I use Mac

@tafelito Some people got similar error. FYI Error when linking: "Expected "/*", "//" or "{" but "<" found"

@jacklam718 That looks like an iOS issue. I'm testing it on Android, and it doesn't seem to be linking the libraries either

[jacklam718]

@tafelito
You can try manually link those libraries. for example:
react-native link react-native-spinkit
react-native link react-native-linear-gradient

can you let me know the result if you tried? thanks!

@jacklam718 Same issue linking those manually. And as it says on the bug you mentioned before, thats an error looks like is on the iOS project.pbxproj file. Not sure how's that related to Android though

/.../android/app/src/main/java/com/.../MainApplication.java:27: error: cannot find symbol
            new LinearGradientPackage(),
                ^
  symbol: class LinearGradientPackage
/.../android/app/src/main/java/com/.../MainApplication.java:28: error: cannot find symbol
            new RNSpinkitPackage()
                ^
  symbol: class RNSpinkitPackage
2 errors
:app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

OK nvm, looks like its working now. The error was just the imports on the android project. Not sure why the link does not add them to the MainApplication.java

Thanks!

[tafelito]

Ok Actually, it didn't throw any error, but the component still not working. It just don't show anything. I used the the One State Button example and this is what it looks like

[jacklam718]

@tafelito Did you linked those libraries?

[tafelito]

@jacklam718 I jus created a new project from scratch and it did work, so I'll have to see what are the differences with my current project and why the linking didn't work.

Thanks!

@tafelito 🤔
I jus created a new project from scratch and it did work you can run react-native link on that new project?
