[New Architecture][Android][Windows] React Native Codegen is unable to locate the "src" folder.

[alabsi91]

Description

While building for React Native's new architecture on Windows, an issue arises where the codegen cannot locate the "src" folder. This leads to an empty path at "android\build\generated\source\codegen\java," causing the build to fail. To address this, I managed to resolve the problem by making the following changes:

// ./package.json

"codegenConfig": {
    "name": "RNMaterialYouSpec",
    "type": "modules",
-  "jsSrcsDir": "src",
+  "jsSrcsDir": "",
}

Packages

• create-react-native-library
• react-native-builder-bob

Selected options

I tested it by creating new empty projects for both TurboModules and Fabric (using both Java and Kotlin), and unfortunately, the build process failed for both. However, the build succeeded for Paper with the old architecture.
