npm warning EBADENGINE Unsupported engine

[tpacent]

Current behavior

When using Node 16 (LTS) or greater,
install/update command triggers a warning:

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '<14.7.0' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v16.15.0', npm: '9.2.0' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

node-abort-controller docs say its not needed when using Node 14.7.0+.

Expected behavior

No warning is thrown when installing this package using Node 16+.

nevermind, it was a breaking change in node-abort-controller:
southpolesteve/node-abort-controller#39

Use

"overrides": {
    "node-abort-controller": "3.0.1"
  }

to pin the package to the previous build.

[avandorp]

The problem with override is that you have to put it into every package.json of all your tools using directly or indirectly node-abort-controller. Even if you have one in between which declares an override. If node-abort-controller isn't fixed shortly it would be nice if
"node-abort-controller": "^3.0.1"
could be changed to
"node-abort-controller": "3.0.1"
in fork-ts-check-webpack-plugin, fixing it for all its users.

@avandorp correct, override is a temporary fix until either fork-ts-checker or abort-controller release an update.
