Want to update nested dependency in npm package

Issue

I have 'request' npm package which is deprecated and being installed by another npm package as a dependency. Now I would like to update the dependencies of request package. I tried every possible way but, didn't find the solution.

Here's the dependency tree which i have to update the last one i.e. uuid:

`-- protractor@7.0.0
  `-- webdriver-manager@12.1.8
    `-- request@2.88.2
      `-- uuid@3.4.0

Solution

NPM packages are built to work with a certain version (or version set) of their dependencies. If you update uuid to a later version, you might run into unexpected issues with request. Updating a dependency of one of your dependencies explicitly is not supported or recommended therefore.
