Task 'installDebug' not found in root project ' '.
See original GitHub issueDescription
Hi, I am new to react/react-native and I have a problem that I’ve been trying to fix for a week. I’ve created a react native app with the react-native-cli with the cmd: react-native init myApp. After my app gets created automatically. I run this command: react-native run-android and I get this error:
so then to try and fix that I go into the android directory and use the cmd: gradlew :app:installDebug and it builds successfully:
then I go back into my project directory and run-android again. I expected that this app would run on my android virtual device but I get the same error:
So at this point I know there is something seriously wrong so I go back into the android directory and type in this cmd: gradlew build and this fails at the bundleReleaseJsAndAssets:
I don’t know if this is the problem but something is not working correctly. Like I said I’ve been trying to fix this for a week and looked at several forums to fix this. I found a issue that has the same build errors as me except this was 2 years ago and he is building the assembleRelease for android with a different version of react: #4124 .

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I FIXXED IT!!! OMG. I’m so happy. Thank you so much you inspired me to think and fix the problem. so when you said that it might be my environment, I scratched my head was thinking about my environment variables and things I did to my computer. So about a month ago I went into my registry editor (regedit) and made a new string value in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processorcalled Autorun so when I open up my command prompt my cmd path would be set to my hard drive (C:). So I removed that and it work! That what was wrong with my computer that entire time. so I guess I learned today to never mess with the regedit. I seriously didn’t think that was the problem but it was thank god I removed that.@colelogan thank you a lot. work it. i remove autorun from registry and work!
