Incompatible peer dependency between eslint-plugin-prettier@^5.1.3 and prettier@^2.8.8

[rabbanee]

Description

When trying to install eslint-plugin-prettier@^5.1.3 alongside prettier@^2.8.8, I encountered the following error: npm ERR! code ERESOLVE npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree npm ERR! npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected] npm ERR! Found: [email protected] npm ERR! node_modules/prettier npm ERR! dev prettier@"^2.8.8" from the root project npm ERR! npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency: npm ERR! peer prettier@">=3.0.0" from [email protected] npm ERR! node_modules/eslint-plugin-prettier npm ERR! dev eslint-plugin-prettier@"^5.1.3" from the root project

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a minimal Node.js project with the following devDependencies:

   {
     "prettier": "^2.8.8",
     "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^5.1.3"
   }
   

2. Run npm install

Expected Behavior

If eslint-plugin-prettier@^5.1.3 only supports prettier@>=3, it would be helpful to:

• Provide a clearer note in the documentation or release notes
• Possibly introduce a more helpful error message (if possible)
• Clarify which versions of prettier are supported by which versions of eslint-plugin-prettier

Actual Behavior

NPM fails to resolve the dependency tree due to a version mismatch between prettier and eslint-plugin-prettier.

Environment

• Node.js: v21.5.0
• npm: 10.x
• OS: Windows
• prettier: 2.8.8
• eslint-plugin-prettier: 5.1.3

Suggested Solution

Either:

• Update documentation to clearly indicate that [email protected] only supports prettier@>=3, or
• If possible, maintain compatibility with [email protected], or
• Suggest older versions of eslint-plugin-prettier for those still using [email protected]
