Does this repro without passing --proj? Where do we specify to do that? What happens if you just run npx react-native run-windows --logging --no-packager --no-launch --no-autolink --no-deploy --arch x64 which we do in CI?

[jonthysell]

If I run npx react-native run-windows --logging --no-packager --no-launch --no-autolink --no-deploy --arch x64 locally everything builds fine except I get an (ignorable) error: No app project file found, please specify in react-native.config. Optionally, use --proj {projFile}..

If I add --proj, i.e. npx react-native run-windows --logging --no-packager --no-launch --no-autolink --no-deploy --arch x64 --proj windows\NativeModuleSample\NativeModuleSample.vcxproj it builds perfectly.

Not sure if this is helpful but it also runs fine on my machine so possibly a missing dependency? This issue #686 had a similar error message but had a workaround

[chrisglein]

At a bare minimum we need to update the readme.
I'm going to take another pass with cleaned build output and see if this repros.

UPDATE: Does still repro. And isn't for some other folks. Is there some unspoken dependency here?

[Hakunata]

Meet this problem too ... So,how to resolve it?

Has this issue been resolved?
