I'm getting the following build error when compiling my react-native project in Xcode env: node: No such file or directory

Not sure whats causing it? Node v8.9.4 React-Native v0.50.4 NPM v5.6.0 And I'm using nvm

if you are using nvm do

sudo ln -s "$(which node)" /usr/local/bin/node

this will link current nvm to your usr local and next time Xcode will find the correct node path and version

    just to confirm this was the solution for me in July 2021 - xcode 12.5.1 – Jonatas CD Jul 27 '21 at 12:17

    This is a great solution. Just one thing to keep in mind: it will specifically set the version of Node that XCode knows about to the one you currently have activated. If you ever switch versions of node using NVM, you should re-run this command so that XCode is symlinked to that same version – Robert Townley Oct 20 '21 at 14:56
  • This is the right answer, on xcode 13. Caused by xcode not being able to find node (nvm) – Desmond Jan 09 '22 at 13:21
  • Right answer for me too! It's also written in the readme file =) – Don Diego Feb 03 '22 at 15:45
  • Late to the party but this doesn't work for me: I'm getting the following error: ln: /user/local/bin/node: No such file or directory. Anyone that can help me out? – Brent Le Comte Aug 23 '22 at 10:05
  • This worked for me, Xcode 13.3.1 and react-native version 0.70.5. – Shreyak Upadhyay Nov 15 '22 at 06:27
  • This worked for me, Xcode 14.2 React Native 0.68.3 – Huan Huynh Jan 06 '23 at 02:19
  • Works for me too. XCode version 14.2 – aldok Feb 06 '23 at 14:40

    @BrentLeComte, please confirm you have the required .xcode.env.local file without any typos. Then confirm your currently used version of Node matches what you specified in that file. Double-check for typos. Try replacing it's contents with this if all else fails: `export NODE_BINARY=$(command -v node)` – Jibreel Keddo Feb 08 '23 at 23:54

    @JibreelKeddo thanks for the response! It was indeed something to do with Node but as it has been almost half a year I kinda forgot what it was. – Brent Le Comte Feb 10 '23 at 09:31

Xcode have some issues finding node from nvm, try this inside the script that throws the error:

# Setup nvm and set node
[ -z "$NVM_DIR" ] && export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"

if [[ -s "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" ]]; then
. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
elif [[ -x "$(command -v brew)" && -s "$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh" ]]; then
. "$(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh"
fi

[ -z "$NODE_BINARY" ] && export NODE_BINARY="node"

$NODE_BINARY ../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli upload-dsym

  • This solution worked for me running React Native >= 0.60 with sentry-react-native version 1.7.2. Navigate to Build Phases --> Bundle React Native code and images – Brian Li Sep 04 '20 at 05:57

Here is one of the solutions for this error if you're using nvm and sentry: https://docs.sentry.io/clients/react-native/manual-setup/#using-node-with-nvm

In my case, this was related to an old sentry configuration and the fact that I use nvm.

Following https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/manual-setup/manual-setup/

you should be able to execute ln -s $(which node) /usr/local/bin/node and get it fixed

Add this at the top of the script that's failing (in Project -> build phases):

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

The solution I used documented here, was to create a script at /usr/local/bin/node that calls nvm

#!/usr/bin/env sh
# Use the version of node specified in .nvmrc to run the supplied command

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && \. "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

nvm_rc_version > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
HAS_NVM_RC=$?

if [[ "$HAS_NVM_RC" == "0" ]] ; then
        nvm run $*
else 
        nvm run default $*
fi
exit $?
