How to Fix ‘while resolving: undefined@undefined’ Error while Creating new React Native Project

Recently, I faced an unexpected react native error. I was creating a new React Native project with the command npx react-native init and I was shown an undefined@undefined error in the terminal. Following is the complete error.

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE could not resolve
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: undefined@undefined

Following is the solution for this react native error.

  • Go to users/YourName/ folder.
  • Unhide the hidden folders. If you are on Mac then press Cmd + Shift + . (command + shift + dot)
  • Now open .npm folder.
  • Delete folders named _cacache, _logs, and _npx.
  • That’s it. Now open and rerun the command. The error will be gone this time.

I hope this react native error fix is helpful for you.
