I get an error when installing a package. I suspect a missing lock file may be causing this conflict. For example:
npm ERR! conflict: version mismatch for 'sample-lib'
How can this dependency issue be resolved?
I faced a similar dependency conflict in a recent project, and it turned out that the issue was more about how npm was resolving versions than a missing lock file. After trying out a few things, I found that updating the version specifications directly in the package.json file and then clearing the npm cache helped a lot. After that, I regenerated the lock file by performing a fresh install. This approach allowed npm to resolve the dependencies more accurately, eliminating any version mismatches.
In my experience, resolving dependency issues like this involves regenerating the lock file to ensure that all packages align correctly with their required versions. I once encountered a similar problem and chose to remove both the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file, then performed a fresh npm install. This approach usually forces npm to re-resolve dependencies properly. If the conflict persists, consider manually setting the required package version in your package.json, as this can help establish consistency across your project dependencies.
hey, i ran into this too. fixed it by deletin node_mods & package-lock then doin a fresh npm install. check your package.json to ensure the reqd versions are set right. a clean reinstall solved my depndency mismatches too.
