I am trying to work on a package locally that is a dependency in a react project. I want to debug an issue while it's running in the main react project.
simply using yarn link creates duplicate versions of react that breaks hooks. (I also tried yarn linking react and react-dom and it get's harry and I was seeing other issues with that)
So I thought to myself, I have an idea. I can just do this:
rm ./node_modules/<my-package>/dist
ln -s /<path-to-my-dev-package>/dist ./node_modules/<my-package>/dist
And that would be the equivalent. I just need to run yarn build on my package before testing it in my app.
The problem is, I cannot get yarn to "see" the changes.
I have verified the symlink is there. I have verified the changes in the built files.
yet no matter what I do, the old non symlink'd version is what I see.
I tried:
yarn cache clean
yarn start
But it still see the old/deleted version of my pacakge (that no longer even exists) when I run my project
How can I get it to "refresh" to the new symlink'd build files?
TLDR
Even if I don't use symlinks.. any change I make to a package in node_modules is not reflected when I run the app.
So real question is, how are these node_modules being cached in create-react-app and how can I clear it so that my changes in node_modules are seen, so I can debug them.
After poking around in the source of react-scripts
It seems I need to remove ./node_modules/.cache/default-development to clear it and reload the changes.

I want to install typescript and jest in a create-react-app-based app. I feel that since this is such a common installation choice there must be at least one "everything just works" set of configuration steps to follow.
I initially ran npx create-react-app my-project --template typescript. That was great for a while. I wrote several thousand lines of code with that. And then one day I decided I wanted to add some mocks to a spec file with code like this:
import jest from "jest";
jest.mock('./somemodule');
...but the "jest" instance is undefined. So I followed directions in different articles to install further devDependencies. But these seem to conflict with dependencies inside of create-react-app, suggesting that I need to focus on setting up my project correctly the "Create-react-app Way" according to its expectations.
Rather than burden StackOverflow with the details of my build and package management issues, I figure I'll just ask the simpler question - what is the correct way to set up create-react-app+typescript+jest in a way where it doesn't have a bunch of irritating, random problems?
And then after I've followed this advice, if I still have problems, I might ask a second, separate SO question with specific details.
The command below should create a new React project supporting Typescript and Jest without need of further modification.
npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
Details about the above command can be found here: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-typescript/
The above command will set up a new project. But if, like me, you have an existing create-react-app project with issues like:
the Jest module is undefined or doesn't seem to have expected functions
your npm run start and npm run build fail due to conflicting dependencies
or you just want to get to a "standard" package.json configuration without all the hassle of copying your source into a new project.
...you can use the process below to fix/upgrade your package.json:
Use the same npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript command above to create a separate working ("Good") project with all the right dependencies. This project will just be used as a reference.
Compare the package.json of the Good project to the non-working ("Bad") project, and make sure the Bad package.json has the same modules and version#s as the Good package.json. You probably don't have to delete any modules in the Bad package.json that aren't in the Good package.json.
rm -rf node-modules in the Bad project.
rm package-lock.json in the Bad project.
npm install in the Bad project.
Self-answering for posterity.
I was working with brownie and everything was working smoothly, launched my first useDapp app and it was a lot of fun. I wanted to see what truffle was about and installed it via npm and there were a bunch of warnings and it didn't seem smooth when it came to functionality so I might have installed it via yarn, expecting the package installer to fix things. It worked for a while then it started to timeout upon migration with tested code that used to launch perfectly fine? I thought it might of been a bug or some form of overlapping installation. I moved on to hardhat and installed it via NPM and it wouldn't compile, so I installed it via Yarn and it compiled fine. I went on to creating a new file and accidentally hit Esc when it was initializing a new file and setting the root. Somewhere in between there I tried to install the shorthand and it didn't work. It only opened a Windows help window instead of call hardhat when I typed hh --help. After that I couldn't call hardhat via yarn hardhat nor npx hardhat outside of the file....the file that previously wouldn't compile was still able to compile via npx hardhat compile?
It sometimes says "module not found", other times it says something about local installation.
I kind of got frustrated and wanted to play with react a little more and when I went to start yarn I got an error message. I followed the prompt and it didn't work, I googled it and had no luck with their common resolutions. I tried to upgrade eslint and even install 7.11.0 and it keeps saying I have version 5.16.0?.
EDIT: not sure if it is relevant, I tried to update my yarn to 1.22.17 and it said it did, although it says im running 1.22.15.

node = v12.13.0
npm =6.12.0
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"eslint": "^7.11.0"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of eslint was detected higher up in the tree:
C:\Users\Nancy\node_modules\eslint (version: 5.16.0)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That will permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.
To fix the dependency tree, try following the steps below in the exact order:
1. Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.
2. Delete node_modules in your project folder.
3. Remove "eslint" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in the package.json file in your project folder.
4. Run npm install or yarn, depending on the package manager you use.
In most cases, this should be enough to fix the problem.
If this has not helped, there are a few other things you can try:
5. If you used npm, install yarn (http://yarnpkg.com/) and repeat the above steps with it instead.
This may help because npm has known issues with package hoisting which may get resolved in future versions.
6. Check if C:\Users\Nancy\node_modules\eslint is outside your project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.
7. Try running npm ls eslint in your project folder.
This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed eslint.
If nothing else helps, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That would permanently disable this preflight check in case you want to proceed anyway.
P.S. We know this message is long but please read the steps above :-) We hope you find them helpful!
error Command failed with exit code 1.
Kind of embarrassing, the answer was in the error message.

Hardhat set root in the wrong directory and I ended up with a node_module folder in a parent directory that was messing things up
Reinstalled truffle globally via yarn add global truffle and it ran smoothly. Evidently, truffle acts up with certain NPM versions.
Hardhat doesn't seem to support global installations yet. Its been working fine being locally installed into each separate hardhat project via yarn add -D hardhat
I haven't been able to get the shorthand to work without invoking yarn first, such as yarn hh <command>
I have a project that uses a UIKit. The Main project and UI Kit is all in Typescript and React.
Both the main project and the uikit are hosted in git.
In the main project t have a dependency line for the UIKIT that fetches the repo from github.
All this works fine.
When I need to make changes to the uikit, I make change in the code, then run the build steps and upload to git (on a dev branch)
In the main project t then modify the dependency link for the project
I will change it from
"#something-libs/uikit": "somegit/someprojectuikit",
to this (add the branch name at the end)
"#something-libs/uikit": "somegit/someprojectuikit#dev",
this works fine and when I run yarn install, it fetches the latest version of the dependency.
Now, say I need to make another change? I do that and upload to git.
The changes are then not reflected in the main project because yarn is not fetching the latest version. As a work around y just change the link back to the old version without the #dev part, rerun yarn install and then change it back to "#something-libs/uikit": "somegit/someprojectuikit#dev" and rerun install again.
Any suggestions how i can tell yarn "hey, the package has changed, go fetch it again"
There are several options for how to solve this, the easiest one is to use the command
yarn upgrade {package_name}
In your case, the command will look like this:
yarn upgrade #something-libs/uikit
After running the upgrade command, you will get the latest commit from your github repository in node_modules/#something-libs/uikit
Idk but it take too long too settle things ...should i install it globally -g?
It installs react,react-dom too everytime ..if i'd install react globally will it reduce time?
Keep a git repository which is a bare CRA app. Whenever starting a new project copy over the files. I particularly like this for typescript projects where I set up ESlint the way I prefer then save it to a project starter repo.
Quite new to react, and can not find an answer to the simplest of tasks. Just trying to clone a repo to my computer and run it. For example https://github.com/arnab-datta/counter-app .
I do npm install and npm start. But when I do npm start I seem to have dependency errors with a "babel-loader". It gives me the below list of steps to solve the problem, I went through them all and still no success. No matter what project I try to repo the error is always this babel-loader. I am new to react and getting very frustrated being unable to do the simplest of things.
There might be a problem with the project dependency tree. It is
likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix
locally.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a
dependency:
"babel-loader": "8.0.5"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it
automatically. However, a different version of babel-loader was
detected higher up in the tree:
/Users/xxx/node_modules/babel-loader (version: 8.0.6)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause
hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project. That will
permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.

This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed babel-loader.
