Overview of the issue

Unable to initialise a new project with react frontend. Initialisation finishes but ./mvnw fails with an error

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 33 errors                                                                                                                                       6:28:38 AM

TS2304: Cannot find name 'Cheerio'.

Motivation for or Use Case

Initialising a new project

Reproduce the error

Steps

• Initialise using jhipster command
• Run ./mvnw

It fails with this error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.10.0:npm (webpack build dev) on project testapp-1: Failed to run task: 'npm run webpack:build' failed. org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 2 (Exit value: 2) -> [Help 1]

Running npm run webpack:build fails this error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Cheerio'.

To confirm it's not related specifically to my environment I used the docker image to create a project from scratch and faced the same issue

docker pull jhipster/jhipster

# and ran these commands inside the container
   15  cd app
   17  jhipster 
   18  ./mvnw
   19  npm run webpack:build

Thanks for reporting this @vik-y
I confirm the issue, and it seems related to one of the dependency

Looks like the issue is with enzyme:

Bumping up enzyme to 3.10.7 fixes the problem for me.

"@types/enzyme": "3.10.7",

I don't see the issue in master branch, so for me, it's only in v6
@vik-y : would you like to provide the fix for v6.x_maintenance branch plz ?

[vik-y]

@pascalgrimaud , Sure, will do that 👍
