npm ERESOLVE could not resolve peer dependency

TL;DR

Align the provider package version with your cdktf version (check the provider's peer dependency range), or install with npm install --legacy-peer-deps as a short-term workaround. Long term, regenerate bindings with cdktf get so the provider matches your cdktf.

The error

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! Found: cdktf@0.14.0-pre.5
npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer cdktf@"^0.13.0" from @cdktf/provider-docker@3.0.11

Fix it

1. Check which cdktf version your project uses (npm ls cdktf) and which range the provider wants (the error names it, e.g. ^0.13.0).
2. Preferred: install a provider release whose peer range includes your cdktf version, e.g. npm install @cdktf/provider-docker@[matching].
3. Alternative: generate the bindings yourself with cdktf get / cdktf provider add instead of installing a prebuilt provider package; generated bindings track your cdktf version.
4. Short-term workaround only: npm install --legacy-peer-deps (accepts a possibly broken resolution; verify cdktf synth still works after).
5. Re-run cdktf synth to confirm the installed provider actually works.

Expected result: npm install completes and synth runs against the provider.

When to use this

• npm install @cdktf/provider-* fails with ERESOLVE peer dependency errors
• You are on a cdktf pre-release or a new minor and the prebuilt provider lags behind

When NOT to use this

• The install succeeds but synth fails (that is a code/schema problem)
• You use Python/Go (use pip/Go modules; the same version-skew idea applies to cdktf-cdktf-provider-* pins)

Root cause

Prebuilt @cdktf/provider-* packages declare a peer dependency on a specific cdktf range. When your project moves to a newer (or pre-release) cdktf first, npm refuses to resolve the tree because no single cdktf satisfies both. The provider bindings are generated against a cdktf version, so a stale prebuilt package is genuinely built for the older API.

Edge cases

• --force also bypasses the check but is harsher than --legacy-peer-deps; prefer the latter.
• After upgrading cdktf, re-run cdktf get to regenerate bindings even if npm is happy.

TL;DR

Fix the peer conflict in your devDependencies - the full install was masking it. Run a normal npm install and read the tree, find which dev packages disagree on a peer, align their versions, then verify npm install --omit=dev exits cleanly. With dev deps present npm can sometimes find a satisfying layout; without them the conflict has nowhere to hide.

Error

"npm ERR! ERESOLVE" only when installing with --omit=dev  -  peer dep conflict hidden in the dev tree

Steps

1. Reproduce both ways. Run npm install (full) and then npm install --omit=dev in a clean checkout. Expected: the full install succeeds and the omit-dev install fails with ERESOLVE, confirming the conflict lives in the dev tree.
2. Read the ERESOLVE output. It names the conflicting packages and the peer ranges involved. Expected: you can identify two dev packages (or a dev package and a root dep) demanding incompatible versions of the same peer.
3. Inspect the tree. Run npm ls [peer-package] to see who depends on what. Expected: a clear picture of which dev dependency pulls the conflicting peer range.
4. Align the versions. Upgrade or pin the dev packages so their peer requirements agree - usually bumping the older dev tool to a release that supports the newer peer. Expected: npm ls shows a single consistent version.
5. Verify the production install. Run npm install --omit=dev again. Expected: exit code 0, no ERESOLVE. Also run npm install --omit=dev --dry-run in CI to lock it in.

Use this when

• ERESOLVE shows up only with --omit=dev or --production
• CI fails to install while local development installs fine
• A dev tool (test runner, bundler plugin) disagrees with a root dependency on a peer version
• You need to find which dev package owns a hidden peer conflict

Not for this skill when

• ERESOLVE happens on a full install too - then the conflict is in the main tree, fix it there
• The error is EOVERRIDE or ELSPROBLEMS - different error families
• You actually want to keep the conflicting dev setup - use overrides deliberately instead

Variant phrasings

• npm ERESOLVE could not resolve dependency tree with omit dev
• peer dependency conflict only in production install
• npm install works locally but fails in CI with ERESOLVE
• devDependency peer conflict hidden from full install

Why it happens

npm's resolver treats the whole tree - including devDependencies - as one constraint problem on a full install, and peer conflicts can resolve when extra packages provide alternative satisfying versions. With --omit=dev, the dev packages vanish from the tree but their peer requirements on shared packages can still constrain resolution, and the previously working layout collapses. The conflict was always there; the dev tree was just papering over it.

Edge cases

• If aligning versions is impossible (a dev tool genuinely requires an old peer), add an override for the peer package - but scope it narrowly and document why.
• Check that CI and local use the same npm version; different resolvers can mask or reveal the same conflict.
• After fixing, delete node_modules and the lockfile and reinstall both ways to make sure the lockfile does not carry the old broken layout.
• Watch for the same pattern with optionalDependencies - they can mask conflicts the same way dev deps do.
