Error when trying to start logKitty for React-Native Android Project

Question

I have run this logger in other projects without issue running react-native log-android why is the logger failing in this project folder. These are mostly out of box react-native init NewProjects with very few changes. So im surprised this one project I can't run the logger in. I like the cmd logger better. Its faster than running the one in chrome.

λ react-native log-android

It seems broken for right now, but a temporary fix is to change the file in your node-modules folder.

In node_modules/logkitty/build/android/adb.js

Change line 29 to:

return process.env.ANDROID_HOME ? `${process.env.ANDROID_HOME}\\platform-tools\\adb` : 'adb';

And change line 34 to:

(0, _child_process.execSync)(`${adbPath} logcat -c`);
