craco-less 2.0.0 requires react-scripts 5 but that's incompatible with craco 6.4.3

I can’t seem to find versions of react-scripts and craco that are compatible with both craco-less 2.0.0 and each other.

craco 6.4.3 requires react-scripts 4 but then I get this error saying craco-less needs react-scripts 5:

npm ERR! Found: react-scripts@4.0.3
npm ERR! node_modules/react-scripts
npm ERR!   react-scripts@"4.0.3" from the root project
npm ERR!   peer react-scripts@"^4.0.0" from @craco/craco@6.4.0

npm ERR! peer react-scripts@"^5.0.0" from craco-less@2.0.0

If instead I install the craco 7 alpha and react-scripts 5, craco-less doesn’t like the craco version:

npm ERR! Found: @craco/craco@7.0.0-alpha.0
npm ERR! node_modules/@craco/craco

What’s the right answer here?

I switched back to craco-less 1.20.0 with craco 6.4.3 and react-scripts 4.0.3 which works

I’m really sorry guys for the delays. For people wanting to use craco-less with CRA 5 and Craco v7 a new pre-release have been published on NPM. And for some back-story. The changes introduced in craco-less 2.0.0 are meant to make it work with CRA5, hence the major version bump. At the time of the update (just before Christmas) Craco v7 alpha was not published yet and the peer-dependency issues are only relative to npm (I guess it’s related to the fact that yarn and npm are managing dependencies in different ways). As a temporary fix (until craco v7 is released) I suggest we add an entry to the readme with compatibility table between craco-less and cra/craco and recommend to people using npm to install the new alpha version.
