npm install not working

What are you trying to achieve?

I try to install dependencies in this project to contribute (#4369)

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

The peer dependencies are not resolvable:

> pnpm view "codeceptjs@3.6.2" dependencies                  
{
  ...
  chai: '5.1.0',
  'chai-deep-match': '1.2.1',
  'chai-exclude': '2.1.0',
  'chai-json-schema': '1.5.1',
  'chai-json-schema-ajv': '5.2.4',
  'chai-match-pattern': '1.3.0',
  'chai-string': '1.5.0',
  ....
}

Codecept requires chai: 5.1.0 and chai-exclude: 2.1.0. However chai-exclude requires a chai version <5:

> pnpm view "chai-exclude@2.1.0" dependencies peerDependencies          
dependencies = { fclone: '^1.0.11' }
peerDependencies = { chai: '>= 4.0.0 < 5' }

Hey @yoannfleurydev :) (I think we have met you at camping des speakers 2023 ✌️) anyway

Have you try npm install --force or npm install --legacy-peer-deps ?

I know it's not pnpm but some peerDependencies aren't working so you need to use npm with this flag 🥲

Hey @Horsty80 (yes, that's right, we have met 😉)
I forgot I opened that issue, I did it when @kobenguyent told me about that and it worked (after multiple tries and making sure I removed node_modules.

Thanks to you two for helping on that one, I'm closing this issue :)
