workbox-webpack-plugin Warnings

[s-barsch]

Hello,

I am reviving some older React projects and when I yarn upgrade I get a ton of warnings regarding:

workbox-webpack-plugin > [email protected]: this package has been deprecated.

Also when I tried to setup new React projects. Is this normal? There are almost no issues regarding this here on Github and most Google results are from 2021 or older. Am I stuck on some old version of create-react-app or with my repositories? Can I upgrade somehow?

Many thanks

Hi! This is not a resolution, but a little help for people experiencing this.

From what I've found, this problem should not occur anymore after this: GoogleChrome/workbox#3220

I'm upgrading a project from React 17 to 18 and this problem was driving me crazy. Even more so because running npm install works well, but yarn was always ending in error. Looking at package.lock I could not find any reason why Yarn was trying to get 6.6.1 when NPM was not. I tried cleaning yarn cache, deleting yarn.lock and node_modules, nothing worked.

In the end, I "solved" this by using the Yarn resolutions in package.json like so:

"resolutions": {
   "workbox-webpack-plugin": "6.4.1"
 },

apologies for practicing necromancy, but I'm guessing the resolutions addition merely pins you to a version of workbox-webppack-plugin that isn't marked for deprecation.

I'm in the process of seeing what, if anything, I need to do to bring my own react-app starter based project out of the dark ages.
