TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNGestureHandlerModule.default.Direction')

Question

I have problem with module \'react-navigation-stack\' I\'ve written the same code from https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigation#react-navigation. Pla

Answer 1

How I have solved the RNGestureHandlerModule.default.Direction error:

1. be sure that you put that import at the top of your entry point script file

   import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
   

2. clean Gradle

   cd ./android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..
   

3. start the Android app with

   react-native run-android --verbose
   

and be sure this you see that line in bundler logs:

> Task :react-native-gesture-handler:compileDebugJavaWithJavac

if you do not see it it looks like bundle did not link react-native-gesture-handler to your app.

Especially check 1) if you have a monorepo with a mobile version index.js|tsx in one package and the whole app in another - import should be added at the top of the mobile entry point script.
