Found: react@undefined when run npx create-react-app

[klezd]

Describe the bug

Found: react@undefined
node_modules/react
  react@"*" from the root project

Could not resolve dependency:
peer react@"17.0.2" from react-dom@17.0.2
node_modules/react-dom
  react-dom@"*" from the root project

Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry
this command with --force, or --legacy-peer-deps
to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

Error when running with create-react-app.

I have tried on an exisiting project to install package @material-ui and received similiar result as above (Found react@undefined)

I'm also getting this error when trying to install react v18.2.2

In case this helps anyone, I had this issue as well. It turned out to be a problem with my local npm cache. Try this:

npm cache clean --force

Everything worked for me afterward.

npm cache docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-cache

From the docs for npm cache clean:

Delete all data out of the cache folder. Note that this is typically unnecessary, as npm's cache is self-healing and resistant to data corruption issues.

Well, sometimes it's necessary I guess. 🙂

Nope It's not working for me. I have tried following thing as well to clean up all cache stuff.

npm cache clean --force

npm config rm proxy

npm config rm https-proxy

npm cache verify

Still facing same issue. for reference adding ss.

You should also check node version supporting the react version

node -v
