npm warning `ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency`

When I have a package.json file like this:

{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "example",
  "keywords": [],
  "license": "MIT",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "@openapitools/openapi-generator-cli": "2.3.3"
  }
}

And I run npm i, I get the following output:

npm WARN ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency

This wasn’t the case with earlier versions (I can at least confirm this isn’t the case with 2.2.6, but I didn’t try any other versions).

I’m using the following: NodeJS v15.10.0 npm 7.5.3

Does the issue still exist? I’m unable to reproduce it.

I’m able to reproduce it with npm 7.19.0, in a clean environment with no ~/.npmrc, by running npm init -y && npm install @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli. The output is the same as @martinfrancois posted, except with version 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.3.

@kay-schecker, let me know if you’re still unable to reproduce it and I’ll try to repro in a GitHub Action (or however you’d prefer).
