React Native Quickstart Error

I'm following the docs to set up react-native with convex but running into this error:

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "convex/server"

    convex/_generated/server.js:21:7:
      21 │ } from "convex/server";
         ╵        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The Yarn Plug'n'Play manifest forbids importing "convex" here because it's not listed as a
  dependency of this package:

    ../../../.pnp.cjs:16526:31:
      16526 │         "packageDependencies": [\
            ╵                                ~~

  You can mark the path "convex/server" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will remove
  this error and leave the unresolved path in the bundle.

Is there an easy way to resolve this?

It sounds like you might need to install convex

I'm getting this error in my server cli when I add in the tasks.ts file. When I comment it out it says the server is running and functions are ready

Are you using yarn? The error says that a parent directory has a .pnp.cjs file that doesn't have convex in it.

If you're not trying to use yarn, get rid if these files in ancestor directories.

Thanks, I had yarn in my root directory and that was causing the issue
