Description

I want to setup detox for my React Native project. However, when running detox init, will consume all of my computer memory. When using system monitor tool, I saw that there are many node processes running. I checked all detox commands and found the same problem.

Steps to Reproduce

• Install detox
• Run detox init
  Then my computer get hanged.

Detox, Node, Device, Xcode and macOS Versions

• Detox: 7.3.3
• React Native: 0.55.3
• Node: 8.11.2
• Device: Android
• Ubuntu 16.04.4

It looks to me that something is not fine either with your hardware configuration or with your specific OS or Node environment configuration.

It is not possible to reproduce this problem by using the given steps. Otherwise, it would have been an emergency and a blocker for Detox. Last time (11 days ago) I was checking Detox on Ubuntu 17.10 and it was absolutely fine.

Provide more info on your hardware specs. Video recording, screenshots or photos of what happens could be helpful as well.

Try out other running CPU- or network-intensive Node.js apps and see if you have the same issue.

This issue is something very weird and definitely cannot be resolved till you give a very detailed report of what is happening. And even then, chances are, that you ought to try to fix the issue on your side, as this looks something very specific to an environment.

Thank you for your answer. I can run detox in normal react app (web) but hanged in react native app. I will try to find out more detail and show here if I found.

React app? Web? That's the wrong project, detox does not do web, it only supports native/react-native apps on iOS and Android

I mean my computer can create e2e folder when run detox init in other folder but hanged when run in react native app folder.

Can you please provide more details? This description is still pretty vague

I tried 3.3.7 and it worked fine. The problem occurred with detox@3.4.0 on my environment. Thank you for all helps.

3.3.7

What version, would you mind to check again? Detox is currently at 7.x, not 3.x. :)

Please treat this thread seriously, the lack of information, and woese, misleading and wrong information is disrespectful to all those who want and spend their time to try helping you.
When you have a full coherent description, open a new issue. If this is a question, please use stack overflow.
