Does botframework-webchat 4.14.0 work with react 17.0.2?

Created a new react project with create-react-app, package.json has following versions of react and react-dom

“react”: “^17.0.2”, “react-dom”: “^17.0.2”,

Running npm install botframework-webchat results in following

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree npm ERR! npm ERR! While resolving: webchat@0.1.0 npm ERR! Found: react@17.0.2 npm ERR! node_modules/react npm ERR! react@“^17.0.2” from the root project npm ERR! npm ERR!

Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry npm ERR! this command with --force, or --legacy-peer-deps npm ERR! to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

Running npm install botframework-webchat --force does install it with a lot of warnings. Adding webchat to react app also works.

Just want to know if officially react 17.0.2 is supported for botframework-webchat 4.14.0 and if not, what’s the latest react version it will work with?

I am running this on a Macbook with Node version 16.6.1 and npm version 7.20.3. Exact commands used

npx create-react-app webchat-cra; cd webchat-cra; npm install
npm install botframework-webchat

When PR #4074 is merged (mid next week or sooner), all our deps should be good for react >= 16.8.6. 😉

The current main release seems to have gone back to pinning the react versions to 16.8.6 - will this be fixed again to allow for React 17+ ? https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/blob/21ff9a1a37ce94b7018e8d1a62ca659b33c67809/package.json#L97
