I always knew this from my experience that, Windows, the OS is broken in a lot of ways for development. However, once I shifted out of it never thought about it. In a recent turn of events, I am back in a Windows Machine for ReactNative development. And the old ghosts are back alive! Tried a lot of things, but the old trick did the job for me.
In my project, I was constantly getting this error while building for Android.
ninja: error: manifest ‘build.ninja’ still dirty after 100 tries
After a week of trying by myself and troubling the team, i found this to be a known problem having multiple solutions, like this(1) and this(2) ! For me the solution was given by someone in the option 2!
Just a weird problem with Windows. I made it work just by moving the project folder to a shorter path.
This I knew since Windows 98 days! And this is still true in 2023! The underlaying OS is somewhere broken for development.
No matter how much sugar coated the system is, it is not for a serious develpment experience except Windows only development things.
