react-native compatibility (Android)

[endel]

Hi there,

I've received this bug report on my project that uses httpie@^2.0.0-next.2: colyseus/colyseus.js#55

I believe it's related to httpie but haven't inspected super deep yet. There is also a similar issue reported on axios repository here: axios/axios#1938

I hope to find a solution and create a PR soon

Hi @lukeed, I just noticed that you've already fixed this here: a29769f

Do you mind publishing this version to NPM? I believe it could be 2.0.0 without tags this time. I've been using it for quite some time and it's pretty stable.

Cheers!

Hey, thank you for following up :)

Funny, I thought I had published those changes now.
In any event, httpie@2.0.0-next.3 is now published (with next tag).

I need to find time this holiday break to finish the last batch of documentation and testing.

Thanks again 🎉

Thanks for the fast reply @lukeed!

I'm not a React Native expert but I found a strange behavior:

• Created a React Native app (Expo)
• Use colyseus.js (with the new httpie@2.0.0-next.3 version)
• Open the Expo app from Android
• The error appears (Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'double java.lang.Double.doubleValue()' on a null object reference )
• If I open the node_modules/httpie/dist/httpie.esm.js file, and save it (without any changes on it) - it triggers a rebuild and reloads on Android Expo app, and the error doesn't show anymore

😨

I've no idea. I've never touched RN or its tools (and don't plan to).

Is that consistent? Is there a build cache that needs to be invalidated?

[endel]

Right, sorry to bother, you're correct, I've used expo --clear and the error is gone :)

Thanks again @lukeed! ❤️

[lukeed]

Not a problem at all, glad it works!

@lukeed Hi, somehow I'm getting this error 2 years later :(
Tried expo start --clear with no luck

[lukeed]

Still never used RN, sorry. Not sure if expo --clear and export start --clear are the same thing though
