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

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

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

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
