Peer dependency issue when when creating a new app

[brandonleichty]

When running npm init vue@latest or npm init vue@3and then runningnpm install` I'm running into the following peer dependency issues:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

And here is my project setup selection:

Node: 16.16.0
MacOS: 12.3 (Apple Silicon)

Can't reproduce it on my machine. Maybe it's caused by something in the parent folder? Something in test-2 that interferes with the dependency resolution?
Does this also happen when you create the project in other paths too?

@sodatea thank you for trying to reproduce. I also tried it it directly on my desktop and ran into the same error (I've tried a few different directories):

Also tried:

1. Restarting my computer
2. Different terminals
3. Updating Node

What's your npm version? This is super weird. Because @vue/composition-api is an optional peer dependency of pinia. There's no reason for it to crash npm.
https://github.com/vuejs/pinia/blob/b6382452030a3b006c5bf61302e699f19d4d88e5/packages/pinia/package.json#L89-L91

[brandonleichty]

NPM version is 8.11.0

For now, you can use npm install --legacy-peer-deps to temporarily work around this issue.
It's also tracked in the pinia repo as vuejs/pinia#853

I think it could be an npm bug: npm/cli#4859
But it's a little confusing that I cannot reproduce the issue myself…

[brandonleichty]

@sodatea I wanted to follow-up on this one incase anyone else runs into this issue. I discovered that the issue was caused by company's internal NPM registry. I removed the registry from the NPM config file, and it solved the issue.

Thanks!
