dependency mismatch between github and npm

🐛 Bug Report

jest-environment-jsdom@24.9.0 installs old jsdom 11.12.0 that includes left-pad@1.3.0

in github seems to be fixed, but in practice the version installed is still the one above, not the one in the package.json on github

To Reproduce

mkdir test-jestjsdom cd jestjsdom npm init --yest npm i -D jest npm ls left-pad

Expected behavior

no left-pad to appear as a dependency

@markdingram Thank you, I appreciate both your and @thymikee’s time that you put into answering me in this issue. Though, there seems to be a misunderstanding. No amount of detail about the past answers my question, because it is about the future. My question is, what is my solution? We are in the second part of November, end of Fall. This change was introduced a season ago, at the end of August. It seems bizarre to me that millions of jest users still use left-pad because “the patch missed the release”. You seem to consider these things as something out of your power, like the weather. But it is not the weather, it’s software, the thing we created exactly because it’s malleable. So please tell me, what is my solution here? Waiting for the weather to change and the release to arrive is not a solution, is the opposite of a solution 😃

P.S. I tried 25.0.0 which btw I think worked more or less on linux, but on catalina it didn’t even install, probably for reasons not even related to jest. My overall frustration - if detectable - has nothing to do with this current issue, don’t take me too seriously.

Well, it’s a bug to get a different thing than what you are promised - or that’s what I thought. And I wasn’t sure what else I could say it is? I also do not get you answer, what’s the solution here for me?
