Did you mean that 8.0.0 has no issue whilst 8.1.6 has?

I think I found the issue. Inside my Xcode workspace settings, I had my build location set to “Custom”, which was putting the build artifacts inside the project folder’s Build directory. When I changed it back to the default setting, npm install ran smoothly again. I’m not sure what change should be made to fix this inside detox, but hopefully this should allow you guys to reproduce this easily.

In order to reproduce it, delete your DerivedData folder (Library/Detox/ios/*) and change your Xcode workspace settings to the values in the second image.

I was not able to reproduce this, sorry. Maybe I need to install n instead of nvm… dunno.

I upgraded to Xcode 9.4 and uninstalled node from brew, leaving my environment only with nvm node. Of course, I did detox clean-framework-cache before nom install. No luck 😕
