create-react-app failing on Windows 10 / node v16.14.2 / npm v8.6

[morenoisidro]

Hi, I'm currently getting a dependency resolution problem while running create-react-app on top of a fresh nodejs installation and after upgrading npm to the latest version.

Environment setup:

• node v16.14.2
• npm v8.6.0
• Operating System: Windows 10

Does anybody know if CRA working for React 18 as of now?

This is the output I'm getting:

#12278

I'm on Win11 and seeing the same. From the error dump, I believe it is the web-vitals package. I removed all traces of it from index.js (import and the function call at the bottom of the file) and am good to go with npm start leading the to the launch of the live webpage:

src/index/js line 5: remove the "import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';" line
src/index.js line 17: remove the "reportWebVitals();" line

Btw, reportWebVitals is for performance reporting, used here during development.

Thanks for taking a look! Checking #12278 right now.

FYI: issue solved with v5.0.1 release.
