Can't run watchman service, run the project nor archive after upgrade to 0.39

[antonysastre]

Description

Can't run background service since upgrade to 0.39.
Running npm start freezes after this output:

> Projectname@1.0.0 start /Users/antonysastre/Projects/node/project-name/Projectname
> node_modules/react-native/packager/packager.sh

Running react-native start just freezes no output.

Running from Xcode breaks with the following out put:

Trying to build the project with Xcode just freezes at Archiving.

Additional Information

Platform: iOS (haven't tried Android)
Operating System: MacOS
node: 7.1.0
npm: 3.10.9
react-native-cli: 1.2.0
react-native: 0.39.0
Xcode: 8.1 (8B62)

I'm having the exact same problem. Nothing works.
Any command related to watchman will freeze / give no output.

--
MacOS 10.12.2 Beta
Node.js 7.2.0
npm 3.10.9
react-native-cli 1.3.0
react-native 0.39.0
watchman 4.7.0

--
Things that changed from yesterday, when it was working:

• Upgraded to react-native 0.39.0
• Java updated on my machine

[brunolemos]

Things I have tried already:

• Cleaning all caches
• Removing node_modules and reinstalling (with yarn and with npm)
• Running first aid on mac
• Downgrading react native to 0.38.0
• Downgrading react-native-cli to 1.2.0
• Downgrading watchman to 4.6.0
• Creating a new react-native project (will stop doing anything after reaching a watchman command)

Starting to think it's an OS issue. @antonysastre what's the version of your mac os? Is it Beta too?

[brunolemos]

After some debugging, it's freezing when trying to run watchman version here:

const detectWatcherClass = () => {
  try {
    execSync('watchman version', {stdio: 'ignore'});
    return sane.WatchmanWatcher;
  } catch (e) {}
  return sane.NodeWatcher;
};

from file node_modules/react-native/packager/react-packager/src/node-haste/FileWatcher/index.js#21

Yeah, is probably an OS issue. See facebook/watchman/issues/388

[brunolemos]

All right, here is the fix:

Run: launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.facebook.watchman.plist
If you can now run watchman version it means it fixed it.

Solution from facebook/watchman#358 (comment)

@brunolemos Awesome man, that fixed for me. I did suspect a watchman/OS related issue but wasn't able to track it down as far as you did. Thanks again!

[vishalkevin11]

@brunolemos Awesome !!! it worked for me ....

[brunolemos]

Good to know! 🙂
