为什么 create-react-app 会给出“package.json 中缺少依赖项”消息？

Question

What's the problem:

I recently started learning reactjs. while creating a new react app, the build fails and only a package.json file is created.

    > PS D:\react-projects> npx create-react-app app-name Creating a new
    > React app in D:\react-projects\exercount.
    > 
    > Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes. Installing

    > added 1396 packages, and changed 1 package in 9m 203 packages are
    > looking for funding   run `npm fund` for details
    > Missing dependencies in package.json

What I used:

• VS CODE 1.69
• Windows 10 Home single language Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044
• Node v16.16
• NPM v8.13.2

when did i encounter it: I tried to create my first react app by following the reactjs official tutorial. I opened vs code in administrator mode and ran the following command in the terminal

npx create-react-app myapp

while this worked fine in my friends linux laptop, it failed in my windows one. All it does is throw a "Missing dependancies in package.json" message and only builds a folder with one package.json file.

What have i tried:

• various commands to create the app like - npx, npm create-react-app and create-react-app itself
• have run those commands with and without the "-use--npm" flag
• forced flushed the npm cache
• uninstalled and reinstalled vs code, npm and node

All i found online were a few similar questions with only small number of them with answers. I have tried all of them and nothing worked.If you know what could be causing this, it would be helpful.

Answer 1

I had the same. The problem was resolved by downgrading npm to version 8.3.0 npm install -g npm@8.3.0

Answer 2

Were you able to find an answer to this problem? I'm having exactly the same result. Thanks! Sherry
