Metro: Unable to resolve module
Error text
error: Error: Unable to resolve module ./components/Header from /app/src/App.js: None of these files exist: * components/Header(.native|.android.ts|.ts|.js|.json)
Cause
The Metro bundler cannot find the imported file or package. A wrong name or path, letter case, or a half-finished install may be behind it.
Step-by-step fix
- Compare the path in the error with the real file name;
Headerandheaderdiffer. - Run
npm installfor packages and confirm they are inpackage.json. - Reset the cache with
npx expo start --clear. - Delete
node_modulesand install again. - In a monorepo check
watchFoldersinmetro.config.js.
Example commands
npx expo start --clear npx react-native start --reset-cache rm -rf node_modules && npm install watchman watch-del-all
How to prevent it
Name files consistently in one letter case; it matters on Linux.
