Is it possible to mandate the use of only certain versions of a library?

I'm facing an issue with packages that have dependencies on both version 3.0.4 and 5.0.1 of minimatch. The vulnerability in 3.0.4 prompts me to want to fix the reference to 3.0.6 or 3.0.7, while leaving 5.0.1 untouched. Essentially, I aim to have references to versions 3.0.6 and 5.0.1.

Is there a way to accomplish this using yarn (1.22) within package.json? I found documentation indicating that you can use:

resolutions: {
  "minimatch": "3.0.6"
}

However, this solution would apply to all versions of minimatch and not just specifically target 3.0.4.

Answer №1

It appears that newer versions of yarn allow for this possibility (https://yarnpkg.com/cli/set/resolution). Unfortunately, I am using the "classic" version of yarn which does not support this feature as it is considered too advanced ("too advanced").

Although I was unable to specify my exact requirements, I managed to identify the precise dependency chain by utilizing version 3.0.4 and specifying it in resolutions, like so:

"react-scripts/react-dev-utils/recursive-readdir/minimatch": "^3.0.5"

This approach successfully resolved the issue at hand.
