Describe the bug
Hi guys I'm getting this error when import the GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY from '@env'
I've followed the official documentation, an previous issue and this tutorial, sorry but I don't know what I'm missing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. follow the official readme and this tutorial: https://dev.to/bhatvikrant/how-to-add-environment-variables-in-a-react-native-project-with-ts-2ne5
2. create the variable on .env file => GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
3. Go to the TSX file and import { GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY } from '@env';
4. See error => Unable to resolve path to module '@env'.eslintimport/no-unresolved

Expected behavior
import the env var without error

You should include env.d.ts to your tsconfig.ts file, like this:

{
  "extends": "@tsconfig/react-native/tsconfig.json",
  ....
  "include": [
       ....
    "./env.d.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

}

Didn't work for me :

And now I'm getting another error on className:

Any idea how to solve it? Am I missing something?

[exzos28]

@rodrigodiasf1984 try to delete /* eslint-disable @typescript-.... on the first line and then restart IDE with reset cache.

And about className— React Native haven't got this property.

Sorry, but I don't see how removing the eslint-disable for any could help ;

I've used this "/* eslint-disable @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any */" because I don't know how to type the ref of googleAutocomplete correctly, so I add this to avoid the error

Hello, did you find any solution? I'm facing by the same issue

Hello, did you find any solution? I'm facing by the same issue

Not yet, let me know if you find it.

[exzos28]

@rodrigodiasf1984 @ser-emejia try to add this:

  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts", <-- !!
    "src/**/*.tsx", <-- !!
    "./env.d.ts",
  ],

Because you override these values when you extend your configuration

Hi @exzos28 It doesn´t work for me,

And now I'm getting a lot of errors after adding the include on my tsconfig.json

[exzos28]

@rodrigodiasf1984 anyway it's not a problem of this package, you should find why your ts config doesn't work

[erwannbst]

On my side, removing "include": ["env.d.tsx"] from tsconfig.json solved the problem

Hi erwannbst, I didn't the include on my tsconfig and I'm still getting the error, I've tried to delete, mobe the env.d.ts to the root of the project but the error persist.

[erwannbst]

This is the config I use which is working for me :
tsconfig.json

{
    "extends": "@tsconfig/react-native/tsconfig.json",
    "exclude": ["node_modules"],
    "compilerOptions": {
        "jsx": "react",
        "paths": {
            "@/*": ["./features/*"],
            "typeRoots": ["./src/types"]
        }
    }
}

babel.config.js

module.exports = {
    presets: ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"],
    plugins: [
        [
            "module:react-native-dotenv",
            {
                envName: "APP_ENV",
                moduleName: "@env",
                path: ".env",
                blocklist: null,
                allowlist: null,
                safe: true,
                allowUndefined: false,
                verbose: false,
            },
        ],
    ],
};

My .env and .env.d.ts are at the root of my repository, not in ./types/
Hope it will solve your problem

[rodrigodiasf1984]

@erwannbst thanks for your answer, I've tried what you said, but it didn't work for me.
