Conflict with React version and enzyme-adapter-react-16

[gautam-divyanshu]

Bug Description

While trying to install packages, I encountered an ERESOLVE error related to a conflict between the version of React our project is using (17.0.2) and the version required by enzyme-adapter-react-16 (16.x.x).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run npm install in the project root directory.

Expected Behavior

The packages should install without any errors.

Actual Behavior

The installation fails with the following error message:

I've tried several solutions including using the --legacy-peer-deps flag, downgrading React, and upgrading enzyme-adapter-react-16, but none have resolved the issue.

If anyone has encountered this issue before or has any suggestions on how to resolve it, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

@gautam-divyanshu just tried npm install --legacy-peer-dep

@samiali12 It iqnores the warnings, these may cause trouble during runtime.

We don't want to use this command. Our apps must use current packages even if it means using replacement packages. We have opened issues in the past to rectify this on the develop branch

npm install --legacy-peer-dep
