AppCenter：在 Git 中构建 2 层深的 React-Native 项目

Question

I'm setting up react-native build in AppCenter.

Everything works on test projects, but in a real repository I'm facing the following issue:

For best performance, the analysis is currently limited to four directory levels including the root of your repository. (Quote from official docs )

My package.json is 2 levels deep ( /folder1/folder2/package.json ), so build.gradle is located 5 levels deep ( /folder1/folder2/android/app/build.gradle ).

So when I set up the build in AppCenter I'm able to specify the Project field (pointing to my package.json ), but Build Variant combobox is empty.

Is there any solution for that? Can I specify Build Variant manually?

PS If I simply move the project one folder above - everything works fine. But I can't do that in my monorepository.

Answer 1

The workaround we are currently using: we created a separate repo with 1-level less nesting, and I'm copying my folder to another repo on each push (via TeamCity). So, having a repo structure like this:

project
│───frontend
│   └───shared
│   └───web
│   └───react-native
│       │   package.json  --> this is the folder we want to build in AppCenter
│       │   ...
│   
└───backend
    └── somefile.cs

We set up git-hooks to copy the frontend folder to another repo:

root
└───shared
└───web
└───react-native
    │   package.json  --> this is the folder we want to build in AppCenter
    │   ...

So we got one level less deep repository which is ok for AppCenter.
