Current Behavior

I have my capacitor project within a yarn 2+ PnP workspace. I'm running yarn workspace <package name> cap run ios and receiving the following error (PII in path redacted):

[error] SyntaxError: Unexpected token E in JSON at position 0

A similar thing happens with Android.

Expected Behavior

There should be a list of targets to load the app on.

Code Reproduction

I've got a WIP project here: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-sdk/tree/outline-connectivity-app/x/outline-connectivity-app

Other Technical Details

npm --version output: I'm using yarn 3.6.1
node --version output: 18.16.1
pod --version output (iOS issues only): 1.12.1

Additional Context

I've noticed that we're calling native-run with the following:

async function runNativeRun(args, options = {}) {
    const p = (0, node_1.resolveNode)(__dirname, (0, path_1.dirname)('native-run/package'), 'bin/native-run');
    if (!p) {
        (0, errors_1.fatal)(`${colors_1.default.input('native-run')} not found.`);
    }
    return await (0, subprocess_1.runCommand)(p, args, options);
}

This doesn't seem like it would play very well with PnP? Not sure.

[daniellacosse]

As a workaround, I've just been running the webserver and yarn workspaces <package name> cap open ios in a single command, and then starting the simulator from xcode.

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed. In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue. If no sample app is provided within 15 days, the issue will be closed.
Please see the Contributing Guide for how to create a Sample App.
Thanks! Ionitron 💙

Here's my example: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-sdk/tree/outline-connectivity-app/x/outline-connectivity-app

It also seems to happen with android.

[jcesarmobile]

can you provide some steps to reproduce?
You have provided a massive repository with a "non standar" structure and no indications about where the capacitor app, where to run the commands, etc.

It looks like this issue didn't get the information it needed, so I'll close it for now. If I made a mistake, sorry! I am just a bot.

Have a great day!
