Error reading Expo config on EAS build when upgrading from Expo 47 to 49

Expo Application Services (EAS)

I’m upgrading our Expo app from SDK 47 to 49. Got everything working locally, but when I do an EAS build, both Android and iOS builds are failing with this error:

Error: Error reading Expo config at /home/expo/workingdir/build/mobile/app.config.js:

We are in a mono repo, and I suspect the problem is something related to that. I suspect this because the end of that path says “mobile/app.config.js” and our mobile app is on the “mobile” subdirectory of our mono repo.

Any ideas what may have changed from 47 to 49, and what I need to do to point to the correct path for app.config.js?

We are on the managed workflow.

eas --version shows: eas-cli/4.1.2 darwin-arm64 node-v16.13.0

For any Expo people, here are my build links:

I’ve found and fixed the problem.

It was actually an error that bubbled up from some code we had in app.config.js that reads a file from the repo to get the version number.

I changed our code from this:

const VERSION = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.cwd() + '/version_info.json').toString());

to this

const VERSION = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/version_info.json').toString());

Basically, it seems that the current working directory in EAS changed and is no longer the root of the project. Changingn this to __dirname fixed the problem.
