Another workaround is this: https://github.com/livioso/react-native-kill-packager |
|
If you have no other node process running on the machine the killall command should do the trick, just incase someone stumbles upon this, and has no other node process running on their box, e.g. a node HTTP server. killall node |

Commit 79e498b claims that "--terminal" has been added as an argument to the "run-android" script which it hasn't. Instead it adds a new environment variable "process.env.REACT_TERMINAL" which seems to be undocumented and nowhere else in the repository. This commit now allows the user to specify their custom terminal as an argument as per the following: react-native run-android --terminal=x-terminal-emulator Additionally the child process "detached" option has been set to false if no terminal has been specified which fixes an issue where the packager would be running in the background and would have to manually be closed by finding the process. Fixes facebook#18122

Target Platform: android:minSdkVersion="16"

Steps to Reproduce
(On a linux machine)
Expected Behavior
There are no processes active on port 8081 and you can run "react-native run-android" any time in the future and it works.
Actual Behavior
The JS server is still running on port 8081. I do not understand why, but this creates a problem when running the app again. After starting the intent (usually the last thing in the terminal after running react-native run-andriod), it just stops automatically as seen in my terminal below:
Versus how I usually stop it as seen in my terminal below:
Reproducible Demo
https://github.com/BWillis98/test
I apologize that I know nothing about "snack", but I've uploaded the test repository I created when going through "Steps to reproduce". I don't think it's really necessary since all I did was run the command "react-native init test" and then push it to a github repository.
Workaround To Problem
Run the command "sudo lsof -i :8081", make note of the PID of the process where the column under "COMMAND" is titled "node", and then run the command "kill -9 [PID]" as demonstrated here:
However, I don't want to do this every time I want to load the app onto my phone and it took a lot of time to narrow down the issue to this and I'd like to save future developers the time of fixing this issue.
