ValidationError: themeConfig.navbar.links has been renamed as themeConfig.navbar.items error

[manjillama]

Hi! I tried to run the project but it seems a validation system was added recently to Docusaurus as an attempt to avoid user configuration errors.

Expected Behaviour

Project to sucessfully run without failure.

Actual Behaviour

Project fails to run with validation error.

ValidationError: themeConfig.navbar.links has been renamed as themeConfig.navbar.items
error 

I've applied a minor patch and sent a pull request fixing the issue.

Step to reproduce

Clone the project and run npm install and then yarn start

P.S. I'm really sorry if you guys don't accept PR from outside the company. I saw an issue and decided to address it.

Hello @manjillama,

I believe you ran into the issue because you did npm install and it installed the latest docusaurus package.

We primarily use yarn and have yarn.lock included in the repository. Can you try using yarn to install the dependencies? I did this on my end and it's working fine.

Let me know if it doesn't work for you. Also, we do accept PRs from outside the company. 🙂

@mesaugat Right! That fixed it! Thanks for the clarification. I'll go ahead and close the issue.
