Doesn't work with create-react-app

[corysimmons]

$ npx install-peerdeps ookook

I created a create-react-app project and tried to use install-peerdeps to install another package, and its peers, to the CRA app.

npx create-react-app foo
cd foo
npx install-peerdeps ookook

I have peerdeps in that file.

What am I doing wrong? :\

Also, I've had problems with understanding how this project works exactly in the past. High level, how is it supposed to work? I would assume it would download a copy of ookook from npm, then look at the package.json of it for a peerDeps field, then loop over those deps running npm/yarn install/add dep.

Huh. Works as expected without CRA...

Guess I should rename this issue.

Seems to be related to It seems as if you are using Yarn. Would you like to use Yarn for the installation? (y/n) y

If I enter anything there, it just exits out silently/immediately. But npx install-peerdeps ookook -Y works as expected.

I'm currently having the same issue with a different package.

npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-wesbos

With a Next.js project.
I'm going to try passing the Y flag.

Using the -Y flag worked. Thanks

Thanks for the report.

The project pulls the desired package's package.json from the registry, and then installs the desired package + all the peer dependencies in one command.

I'll add a note to the README to use the -Y flag with create-react-app.

I had the same problem (while installing airbnb lint config) and this worked.

I think the solution is to fix this inside the install-peerdeps lib rather than just adding a note to README.

I think this should be fixed by #126. Please reopen with the command you ran and logs (if any) if this issue persists.
