Adding package via npm to the project causes Error: Duplicate Resource on tns run

in #utopian-io • 7 years ago (edited)

Expected behavior

Project should successfully compile without any other modifications.

Actual behavior

tns will throw errors while compiling "Error: Duplicate Resource" and ultimately stop executing. This is due .js.map files being copied to platform and Android compiler doesn't differentiate between .js.map/.js.gz and .js files and treat them like they are equal.

How to reproduce

  1. Create new NativeScript project
  2. Add any package with .js.map files (Steem for example npm i --save steem)
  3. Build app: tns run android
  4. Watch for compile errors in console, right before Java throws compilation error there is merge assets error with Duplicate Resource message

Workaround:
After getting the error, go to platform/android and delete "duplicate" map/gz files from modules causing the issue.
