react-native cannot read property 'bindings' of null - react-native

Question

I tried to run a react-native simulator.
However, this error came out in the simulator:
Failed to load bundle(http://localhost:8081/index.bundle?
platform=ios&dev=true&minify=false)
with error:(/Users/sugawarasyuta/Desktop/albums/index.js:
Cannot read property 'bindings' of null(null))
I double‐checked my code syntax. But I feel like this is not about that. Do you know how to solve this error?
Here are my files:
index.js
import React from 'react';
import { AppRegistry,View } from 'react-native';
import Header from './src/components/header';
import AlbumList from './src/components/AlbumList';
//Create a component
const App = () => (
<View>
<Header headerText= {'albums'} />
<AlbumList />
</View>
);
AppRegistry.registerComponent('albums', () => App );
AlbumList.js
import React,{Component}from 'react';
import {View, Text} from 'react-native';
import axios from 'axios';
class AlbumList extends Component {
componentWillMount(){
axios.get('https://rallycoding.herokuapp.com/api/music_albums')
.then(response => console.log(response));
}
render(){
return(
<View>
<Text>AlbumList!!!</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
export default AlbumList;
These are terminal statements:

This is my package.json. Are those dependencies correct?

},

}
}
I upgraded "babel-preset-react-native" from "4.0.0" to "^5.0.1" and another error came out:

I feel like this is not because of syntax error simply, but cause of dependencies. Do you know how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Without any further information, I suspect you need to update babel-preset-react-native.
When upgrading to 0.56, make sure to bump your
babel-preset-react-native package.json dependency to ^5.0.1 or newer.

Answer 2

For React Native 0.57
When upgrading to React Native 0.57, follow these steps to fix this issue:
Upgrade the version of React in the package.json to 16.5
Change the babel-preset dependency from "babel-preset-react-native": "^5" to "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "^0.45.0"
Change the .babelrc configuration to:
{
"presets": ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"]
}
Run rm -rf node_modules/ to remove your old modules
Run npm install to get a fresh node_modules/
Run react-native upgrade to upgrade your config files
Run rm -rf android/build/ ios/build/ to get rid of your old compiled apps
Run your app again, it should work!

REACT NATIVE 0.57 FRESH INSTALLS iOS ANDROID
I did a fresh install of react native from react-native init projectName
The package.json
{
"name": "JesteeTestee",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
"test": "jest"
},
"dependencies": {
"react": "^16.5.2",
"react-native": "0.57.4"
},
devDependencies": {
"babel-jest": "23.6.0",
"jest": "23.6.0",
"metro-react-native-babel-preset": "^0.47.0",
"react-test-renderer": "16.6.0-alpha.8af6728"
},
"jest": {
"preset": "react-native",
"transform": {
"^.+\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native/jest/preprocessor.js"
}
}
}
As you can see it is the latest, current version of RN#0.57.4 and metro-react-native-babel-preset#0.47.0.
Also the default .babelrc
{
"presets": ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"]
}
Simply added the following to the Jest part of the package.json;
"transform": {
"^.+\\.js$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/react-native/jest/preprocessor.js"
}
Given the hours I spent finding this today, if you are doing a fresh install and hit a snag just delete the project, start again and try this simple step only.
Tested for react-native run-ios and run-android.

Answer 4

FOR REACT-NATIVE VERSION 0.57 OR MORE
On babel.config.js, simply change presets as below
"presets": ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"]
This worked for me after trying many different solutions
