Working on an angular without the node_modules folder and I can't run npm install

Issue

npm resolution error report

While resolving: front-movit@0.0.0 Found: @angular/common@14.3.0 node_modules/@angular/common @angular/common@"^14.2.12" from the root project

Could not resolve dependency: peer @angular/common@">=13.0.0 <14.0.0" from @ng-select/ng-select@8.3.0 node_modules/@ng-select/ng-select @ng-select/ng-select@"^8.1.1" from the root project

Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry this command with --force or --legacy-peer-deps to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

And here's our package.json:

tried with --legacy-pers-deps and it still doesn't work:

npm ERR! code E404

npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@ds%2fcore - Not found

'@ds/core@^0.0.10' is not in this registry.

Solution

Your two problems do not seem to be related.

On one end you are trying to install a package that is not available publicly (@ds/core), and on the other end, you are trying to use a version of @ng-select/ng-select which is not compatible with your Angular version.

For the first issue, you should make sure you are trying to install the right package, and if it is a package internal to your organization, see internally how you are supposed to install it.

For the second issue, you should upgrade to a new version of @ng-select/ng-select.

From https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ng-select/ng-select you can see that for Angular 14, you should use the version 9.x.x of @ng-select.

Run npm i @ng-select/ng-select@9.1.0 (you should fix the first issue first, or remove your dependency on @ds/core).
