How to read ERESOLVE in npm audit fix? - npm

Question

Here is the output I have after getting audit warnings after installing an npm package:
$ npm audit fix
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE could not resolve

That came after running npm audit fix --force a few times, after getting this:
$ npm install eslint-plugin-unused-imports --save-dev
added 2 packages, and audited 379 packages in 4s
107 packages are looking for funding
run `npm fund` for details
5 high severity vulnerabilities
To address issues that do not require attention, run:
npm audit fix
To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
npm audit fix --force
Run `npm audit` for details.
Any ideas what I should be doing here to resolve and get a successful install?
My package.json is:

Now I have rm -rf node_modules, and when I do npm install again, it shows the same error....

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Deleting the package-lock.json and the node_modules, and then running npm install solved my issue.
I hope it helps.
