Error: spawn vscode ENOENT React Native Issue Fix

ByMohammed Rashid Posted on

I created a new react native (v60.0) project and tried running by using command react-native run-android but faced Error: spawn vscode ENOENT error in the terminal as shown in the screenshot given below.

I was running commands through the terminal of my IDE Visual Studio Code. In order to solve this react native issue, I opened my terminal at the project location and ran the command react-native start. After that, I came back to the terminal of VS Code and ran the command react-native run-android. This time the error had gone and I was able to run the project successfully.
