无法覆盖节点中的依赖项

Question

I want to upgrade dependency of one of the package include in a transitive way:

 minimist :: 0.0.8 >> node:npm:gitcorp/Myproject >> node:npm:artifactory/npm-dcloud:less:3.9.0 >> node:npm:artifactory/npm-dcloud:mkdirp:0.5.1

Package minimist should be update from 0.0.8 to 0.2.1.

I tried following approach

1.

node 8.1

     "scripts": {
      "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
    
    }
    {
      "resolutions": {
        "minimist": "0.2.1"
      }
    }

Still in my package-lock.json I see below:

  "mkdirp": {
          "version": "0.5.1",
          "resolved": false,
          "integrity": "sha1-MAV0OOrGz3+MR2fzhkjWaX11yQM=",
          "dev": true,
          "optional": true,
          "requires": {
            "minimist": "0.0.8"
          }

Secondly, when i run "npm run build" by ading above statements in my package.json, i get error as npm ERR! missing script: build npm ERR! missing script: build

2. Since my node version is 8.1 so i cannot use overrides available in npm 8.3, as npm 8.3 requires node version 10+.

Is there a work around to force dependency version?

Answer 1

I was experiencing the same problem. My problem was npm 8.1. I updated npm to, in my case, 8.7 and used the override settings in the package.json eg:

{
  "overrides": {
    "minimist": "0.2.1"
  }
}
