Error: Refusing to install package with name “jest” under a package also called “jest”.
Today, I want to create a jest example and simply name folder name as “jest” which made error in next step:
npm init -y
This commond will create a package have the same name “jest” as folder name;
When we go to the next step:
npm i -D jest
Show following error message: Refusing to install package with name "jest" under a package also called "jest". Did you name your project the same as the dependency you're installing?
Solution
Rename folder name and delete old package.json
, run npm init -y
again
