Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'transformFile') at Bundler.transformFile

I have updated node today and I'm getting this error:

error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'transformFile')
    at Bundler.transformFile (/Users/.../node_modules/metro/src/Bundler.js:48:30)
    at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)

Other than that I haven't done anything unusual, so I'm not sure what to share. If I'm missing any info please comment and I'll add it.

While building the terminal also throws this error:

My node, npx and react-native versions are:

  • node: 17.0.0
  • npx: 8.1.0
  • react-native-cli: 2.0.1

I tried different node versions...same error. Uninstalled and tried new versions of Android Studio...same error. Started brand new projects from scratch...same error. Deleted node_modules and ran npm i...same error.

Here's what did work for me.

Run

npx react-native info

Towards the top of that readout, it should say what Node version you are using. (it told me I was using Node: 17.xx.x in a stray node_modules folder.)

My fix was simply renaming that folder(in case deleting it breaks a different project). Now when I run npx react-native info it tells me the correct node version(16.13.1) and all my projects are running in the emulator again!

Ran into the same issue with Node.js 17.0.0. To solve it, I downgraded to version 14.18.1, deleted node_modules and reinstalled.

Quick and dirty workaround (worked for me):

Add or update your package.json engines section with something like this to stop trying to build with Node 17.0.x Current, until you resolve the new OpenSSL PKCS8 format in the tls module:

  "engines": {
    "node": "<17",
    "npm": "<8.2"
  },

I experienced the same issue. Seems that the problem is due to version 17.x of Node.js. I solved downgrading to Node.js 16.12.0.

you can resolve it by downgrading the node js

> nvm list // to see all available node version

> nvm install 16.13.0 // to install the version I wanted 

> nvm use 16.13.0  // use the installed version

In case, you do the steps of @uzai sindiko and when you try to build, it fails again. And if you close the terminal, and then you check again node version, it says 17.3.1.

Then after you set nvm use 16.13.0 do also nvm uninstall 17.3.1 and then your project will be build.

Thanks

check your node version first using nvm list uninstall the unnecessary version of node using nvm uninstall version change the version with the version number which is in use. install the new version of node using nvm install version_number use the installed version of node using nvm use version_number . Replace version_number with the version of node you have installed.
