Error: dirent.isSymbolicLink is not a function about cordova-react-template HOT 3 OPEN

This error specifically is because you're using an older version of NodeJS. You need to update to at least NodeJS v10.10.0 for this problem to go away. However, after this you will most likely get another problem relating to the symbolic links:

EEXIST: file already exists, symlink 'xxxxx\build\index.html' -> 'xxxxx\www\index.html'

I was able to patch it by:

1. Installing the fs-extra package:

$ npm i fs-extra

2. Changing the fs require in assets\hooks\run-prod.js:
   const fs = require('fs') -> const fs = require('fs-extra')

3. Modifying the createSymlink function in assets\hooks\run-prod.js to:

const createSymlink = () => {
fs.removeSync(wwwPath)
fs.copySync(buildPath, wwwPath)
}

There maybe a way to make the symlinks work but I find it's way easier to just copy the directory (especially for a production build).

bumped into this today, searching for the fix was difficult, can you publish a fix so cordova create --template cordova-react works?

I basically ran the command with admin privileges and it solved the issue for me.
For Ubuntu users, you can prefix your command with the "sudo" command, then for windows just basically run command prompt as an admin.
