expo-router/entry cannot be found when local project name is "expo-router"

Ya, the name in the root package.json cannot be expo-router or any other node module name in the project. The root package.json takes priority over any other package installed in the node modules folder. After you're unblocked by that app/index.tsx will collide with app/(tab)/index.tsx as they both resolve to /.

Are you guys sure you did not forget to follow this step ?
https://expo.github.io/router/docs/intro#configure-the-babel-plugin
I accidentally forgot about it and had the same error
And do not forget to start project with npx expo start --clear

[fristyr]

Can you try npx expo start --clear ?

[JClackett]

Same thing :(

error: Error: While resolving module `expo-router/entry`, the Haste package `expo-router` was found. However the module `entry` could not be found within the package. Indeed, none of these files exist:

  * `/Users/jclackett/Apps/Examples/expo-router/entry(.native|.ios.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.ios.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx|.ios.js|.native.js|.js|.ios.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.ios.json|.native.json|.json)`

you can try it out on my branch :)

https://github.com/Albert-Gao/expo-router-web-try-out/tree/web-auth-flow

might need to swap the wrapper in the layout component to nativeStack for mobile, but you can just clean the app folder and start from fresh :)

What may be the work around ?!

[JClackett]

Definitely have this!

[EvanBacon]

Ensure the following:

• Using "expo": "~46.0.13" or greater.
• The file node_modules/expo-router/entry.js exists.
• You are starting your project with Expo CLI (npx expo start). React Native CLI won't work.

Workaround

• Try creating a file index.js which has import 'expo-router/entry'. Then set "main": "./index" in your package.json.

Yeah weird, I definitely have all of those things!

The entry file is definitely in my node_modules so I don't understand how it can't find it

Still just getting:

error: Error: While resolving module `expo-router/entry`, the Haste package `expo-router` was found. However the module `entry` could not be found within the package. Indeed, none of these files exist:
 * `/Users/jclackett/Apps/Examples/expo-router/entry(.native|.ios.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.ios.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx|.ios.js|.native.js|.js|.ios.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.ios.json|.native.json|.json)`

It is trying to find the entry file in the root directory though...is that right? I think it might be something to do with metro? if I force it to load from node_modules:

import "./node_modules/expo-router/entry";

I then get:

error: Error: While resolving module `expo-router/build/splash`, the Haste package `expo-router` was found. However the module `build/splash` could not be found within the package. Indeed, none of these files exist:

But I honestly have no idea how any of this stuff works...
