I have the following error with npm start in my React application:
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"webpack-dev-server": "3.11.1"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of webpack-dev-server was detected higher up in the tree:
C:\Users\Username\node_modules\webpack-dev-server (version: 3.11.0)
Usually I fixed this type of issue by running the following code: npm install react-scripts#latest.
But now it seems like that React is not updated yet to the latest webpack-dev-server
Now the question is how to fix that. By the way, I use npx create-react-app for my project, Thanks!
I have write following commands in react project
Open project in command prompt
npm uninstall -g webpack-dev-server
remove web-dev-server folder from node_modules(C:/Users/UserName/Node_Modules)
npm i -g webpack-dev-server#3.11.1
remove package-lock.json and write npm install
after it your react project may be start by npm start
First, remove the node_modules folder and yarn-lock or package-lock.json file.
And, then add this line in your .env file:
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
Now you can do npm start or yarn start after re-installing the packages. It should work.
Explanation:
For some reasons, you have two versions of webpack-dev-server installed in your project's node_modules. By setting SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true in .env file, we are telling npm to ignore such version issues.
Check if node_modules and package-lock.json are present in your home folder, instead of your project folder. If yes, delete those two folders and then go for npm start.
i was trying to learn webpack and i have downloaded webpack-dev-server and i got this problem how to resolve this
frame#0.1.0 start
react-scripts start
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:
"webpack": "4.44.2"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of webpack was detected higher up in
the tree:
C:\Users\jacob\node_modules\webpack (version: 5.24.2)
anually 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:
Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.
Delete node_modules in your project folder.
Remove "webpack" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in
the package.json file in your project folder.
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:
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.
Check if C:\Users\jacob\node_modules\webpack is outside your
project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something
in your home folder.
Try running npm ls webpack in your project folder.
This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed webpack.
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!

You should not use your own webpack config with create-react-app. If you really want to do so, do yarn ejector npm eject. It will give you access to CRA's webpack config. If I were you, I'd just start a project from scratch by downloading React as a simple library, and set everything up with Babel + Webpack. It will be much easier to learn.
What exactly these two do, where to use them ?
yarn install
yarn build
In a nutshell, yarn install is the command used to install all dependencies for a project, usually allocated in the package.json file. In most scenarios it is because you cloned a project and need its dependencies installed to run it.
On the other hand, yarn build is not a built-in command in the Yarn package manager. Looking at your question, it seems like you are running some #reactjs project, which might have defined a build command in its package.json file.
I hope this clarifies your doubt, but for a complete answer, please provide an example of what is your specific scenario.
Also be aware that when running custom scripts like build, test, deploy, etc. it is recommended tu use the yarn run [script] command as stated in the Yarn docs, in your case yarn run build.
yarn install is used to fetch and install all dependencies for your project which are defined in your package.json. You might want to do this when you add a dependency or if you freshly checked out the project on another computer. Also read the docs on yarn install.
yarn run build calls the script that you configured for the "build" command in your package.json. Note that yarn build is not a valid yarn command.
{
"name": "my-package",
"scripts": {
"build": "babel src -d lib" // <-- this will be executed
}
}
Also see the yarn run documentation
All I am doing is running create-react-app and cd'ing into the app, then trying to run npm/yarn start. I get the following error/output/log. I have walked through all of the suggested steps. The only thing that works is the SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true in my .env as the last resort for both
Yarn and npm. I have recently updated to Mojave and had to reinstall my Xcode if people have had a similar experience.

I just had the same problem. For some reason the package ended up in a node_modules directory in my home directory. It also gave me the exact same error for the jest package.
I'm not sure of the correct way to fix this as npm uninstall -g babel-jest and yarn global remove babel-jest do not do anything.
I fixed it by just blowing away the folders that cause the problem:
bash
rm -rf ~/node_modules/babel-jest ~/node_modules/jest
It would be great to know how those packages ended up there, and the proper way of getting rid of them, but for now just deleting the folders is enough to get CRA dev server running without skipping the preflight check.
This problem can occur if there is node_modules in a parent directory of the folder where you run the application. I solved the problem by deleting the node_modules directory.
I too faced a similar problem and was able to resolve the issue following below steps.
Create a .env file in your project root directory and add the following statement
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
Save the file
Remove node_modules, yarn.lock, package.lock
Then reinstall node_modules with
npm install
This should work
The problem seems to have reappeared in create-react-app 3.0.0.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"babel-jest": "24.7.1"
As abisuq pointed out in https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/6756#issuecomment-489562571 adding a version resolutions into package.json temporarily fixes the problem.
"resolutions": {
"babel-jest": "24.7.1"
},
Update: It has been fixed in create-react-app 3.0.1. If upgrading is an option you can run
npm install --save --save-exact react-scripts#3.0.1
or
yarn add --exact react-scripts#3.0.1
run： npm ls babel-jest
got : babelk-jest#24.7.1 & babel-jest#24.8.0 installed
this means install tow babel-jest with diff version
run：npm uninstall babel-jest#24.8.0 fix my issue
I had this issue and finally solved it easily.
As probably you know, when we use create-react-app, Jest is configured by default and you don't need to install Jest (when we use Webpack, we can install Jest). So, if you use Create-react-app and install Jest by mistake:
Firstly uninstall it (remember that if you use: (npm install --save-dev jest), you can remove jest directly from Package.json or use: (npm uninstall --save-dev jest)
Delete package-lock.json (not package.json)
Delete the node_modules
npm install
Now you don't receive an error and you can easily use: (npm start) or (npm test)
Also, It is worth mentioning that I installed the following tools to write my test in React component:
(npm install --save-dev enzyme enzyme-adapter-react-16 jest-enzyme)
and wrote my test by using jest and enzyme. Then I easily use: (npm test)
Good Luck!
Ok I finally found a solution after trying everything. Here is what finally worked:
First of all, read the error message in the cmd from the beginning. They'll tell you what module is causing the problem. You probably have an older version installed on your computer. Example: babel-jest version 2.4.4
Go to your Node.js folder c:/Users/(your user)/node_modules and find that module and simply delete it.
Go back to the cmd and run npm start. You might get the same error. But it'll be for a different module. Just delete it the same way and repeat until it runs.
I fixed the issue by removing the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file from a folder that was higher than the root of the project. I had installed node_modules accidentally in a higher folder.
I had:
desktop/code/node_modules (remove this to fix)
desktop/code/package-lock.json (remove this to fix)
desktop/code/project/node_modules
desktop/code/project/package-lock.json
I was having this issue as well. When I tried to run the client using npm start, the error would occur, telling me that it required babel-jest: ^24.9.0.
I noticed that in my client, babel-jest was version ^24.9.0, but in my server, I had "jest": "^26.6.3".
All I had to do was change "jest": "^26.6.3" to "jest": "^24.9.0" in the server side source code, delete my package-lock.json as well as node_modules in server, npm install again, and good to go!
At first I installed these (my react version was "^17.0.2")
npm install --save-dev jest
npm install --save-dev enzyme enzyme-to-json
npm install #wojtekmaj/enzyme-adapter-react-17
After that, I had the same problem.
Then I did these steps :)
Added '.env' file in my project root directory and add:
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
Removed node_modules & package.lock
npm install
npm start
I had the exact same issue.
What I tried was to create the react app outside the directory that had the node_modules folder.
After that, started the app with yarn start and didn't have the error anymore.
I had the same problem, and I fixed this issue. For some reason because node_modules on my local. I removed babel-jest & jest. After that, npm start. I'm not sure this solved incorrect but this correct for me.
I solved this issue by deleting the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file I accidentally had installed in the root of my user.
For me in Mac the path was:
Macintosh HD -> Users -> "My-user-name"
I discover that might be the problem by running npm ls babel-jest on terminal. That showed me that there was another babel-jest up in the tree.
After deleting these two I did npm install in my app where I previously had deleted the node_modules folder and package-lock.json.
Now it's running ok !
I fixed this by deleting node_module folder in the project directory
try this command and see which packages create conflicts in versions.
npm ls babel-jest
replace the conflicted packages with updated one of that package.
I tried all of written solutions above. But none of them worked. I solved problem by deleting "C:\node_modules" folder.
Then delete project node_modules and package-lock.json. Finally, npm install and start again. And it worked.
My react-scripts version is 4.0.3. The problem suddenly happened after installing a private remote package, which installed multiple babel packages in my project root's node_modules. I solved this by installing the problematic packages on the project root's level explicitly, so that they match the versions reported in the preflight check.
Following addings fixed it in my case. Your needed packages and versions may differ, you have to check the preflight report.
yarn add babel-jest#^26.6.0
yarn add babel-loader#8.1.0
For me its still a workaround, but i prefer this way instead of removing something in node_modules manually as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/53093421/4840661.
This is the approach without deleting node_modules:
I recieved error like:
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"jest": "26.6.0"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of jest was detected higher up in the tree:
First check the versions using:
npm ls babel-jest
In my case output was like this:
jest#27.0.3
└─┬ #jest/core#27.0.3
└─┬ jest-config#27.0.3
└── babel-jest#27.0.2
After that uninstall babel-jest by
npm uninstall babel-jest
(When you see the single version of babel-jest,otherwise go as versions as follows)
npm uninstall babel-jest#27.0.2
Then install required dependencies using
npm i babel-jest#version jest#version
(Where version is the one come in 1st point)
This works for me like a charm. Hope this solves you too.
Got this error in the netlify ci, here's the fix that worked for me:
this method works for any lib i got a error for eslint instead of babel-jest.
force the error to be shown by npm i -s #babel-jest/VERSION --force
replace VERSION with whatever version shows in the error(23.6.0 in this case),
the correct error message will be shown locally
use https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-check-updates to upgrade your package.json flie with the correct versions
run ncu -u in dir of package.json after installing the npm package
globally
finally do a npm ci
this will delete the package-lock and node_modules and install the new versions based on the second step
this work for me.
clear caches in npm or yarn
remove node_modules and lock files
create .env file
add " SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true " to an .env file in your project.
my issue was that I have both frontend and backend that I am running concurrently. I installed jest to my root project (for backend) and I guess there is collision with pre-installed react jest. I just uninstalled jest from backend and voila I am happy now. I don't have anything related with babel.
i had the similar problem and wasted my 2-3 days
The easiest way to solve this problem is :
1.go outside of src, and create .env file.
2.Inside .env file, just write this single line and save it:
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
3.then npm start
Hope this helps, Happy coding!!!
I tried following the exact instructions listed in the react documentation on how to deploy a working app to github pages. When I ran npm run deploy. It kept failing at the gh-pages -d build saying that the 'gh-pages' is not an internal or external command. I made sure I had the latest versions of node and npm installed
I had installed gh-pages using the -g tag to make it globally available. Tried adding to the system path variable leading to the node modules folder where i knew gh-pages was loaded. Still nothing.
Finally i tried running it from the git bash window instead of the cmd terminal. This hadn't occurred to me at first as all of the other npm commands worked. Don't know why this fixed things but it did. Just posting this so somebody else might be spared the pain
I had the same issue but finally managed to make it work. The main issue was that I hadn't installed Git for Windows, but I took some extra steps to make sure everything works fine.
Download and install Git for Windows from here
Run npm cache clean to clean npm cache
Run npm install npm#latest -g to install the latest version of npm
Add "homepage" : "http://myname.github.io/myapp", to
"package.json" file and replace the URL with correct GitHub pages URL. If you are not sure about the URL, open the project repository in the browser and go to "Settings" tab. Scroll down and find correct URL under "GitHub Pages".
Run npm install --save-dev gh-pages to install gh-pages module
Add the following 2 lines to "scripts" object in "package.json" file:
"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build"
Finally, run npm run deploy to create an optimized production
build and deploy it on GitHub pages. If you haven't logged in to
Github for windows app before, Github app pops up and asks you to enter your username and password. When you've done that the deploy process will continue and uploads the production build on GitHub pages.
Hope that helps, happy coding.
If it says this, then node_modules/.bin/gh-pages doesn't exist (no, you don't need to install it globally). If it doesn't exist, then it means you either forgot to run npm install --save-dev gh-pages, or something went wrong during the installation.
I would not recommend installing it globally (although looks like it worked in your case).
