I am using node v16.14.2 for my existing project. wanted to upgrad to v20 LTS. I have set node version to 20.9.0. and tried npm install, and got below mentione error.

I tried upgrading specific package but no luck. sinon-chai is last updated 3 years ago, Is there any other relavent package which can solve this problem or any other solution to this.

Solution

  • sinon-chai 3.2.0 added support for Sinon 6.x, see sinon-chai/releases/tag/v3.2.0

    You should update the sinon-chai from ^2.8.0 to ^3.2.0

    The peer dependencies of sinon-chai@3.2.0:

    $ npm view sinon-chai@3.2.0 peerDependencies
{ chai: '^4.0.0', sinon: '>=4.0.0 <7.0.0' }

    The peer dependencies of sinon-chai@2.14.0:

    $ npm view sinon-chai@2.14.0 peerDependencies
{ chai: '>=1.9.2 <5', sinon: '^1.4.0 || ^2.1.0 || ^3.0.0 || ^4.0.0' }
