I have tried all methods but all does not work

#14464

Workaround - delete the third-party folder generated in node_modules/react-native/

[cielu]

I solve the problem by - delete the third-party folder generated in node_modules/react-native/

thanks @ben-snaize

[itinance]

This worked for me: to delete the broken test-driver-link as follows

unlink node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver

[petersuwara]

Thanks @itinance. This fixed my problem, was going to delete the folder if this didn't work, however the unlink fixed my Command Line build.

Strangely however, if I built using Android Studio, I didn't run into this issue.

[ujwal-setlur]

Aargh! Now that #14382 was fixed in 0.46.3, I upgraded to 0.46.3. Now I run into this issue! This kind of calls into question how these releases are tested...:(

@itinance, your solution worked. I guess I have to put it into a npm postinstall script.

[ujwal-setlur]

Please see 5c53f89#commitcomment-23107918

[ujwal-setlur]

This is fixed in master branch. Guess we need to wait for 0.47.0
