"The batch file can not be found" when detaching to ExpoKit on windows (harmless but annoying message)

@fson - any idea what's happening here?

@joshua-tmc Thanks for reporting this error. Could you also copy the error that gets printed to your console here? (The attached log file only shows that the command exited with status 1, but not the actual error.)

Thanks for the additional information! It seems that the problem is that, when the eject command runs Yarn, it removes the react-native-scripts package and cleans up its files (like it’s supposed to). This also removes the currently running cmd file, which Windows doesn’t like, so it prints the “The batch file can not be found” error in the end.

It seems that ejecting finishes successfully anyway, so you don’t need to worry about this error message.

We can look into making the script work without this error message on Windows, so I’m leaving this issue open so that we can track that here.
