Hello all,

I found a solution and would like to share how to resolve it:

0. Don;t need to delete yarn.lock
1. Run yarn why string-width to find the library that uses it as a dependency.
2. Downgrade this library to the version that works, remove node_modules, and then run yarn install to verify it works.
3. Use yarn upgrade lib@version to upgrade only this library.

It should work.

Happy coding!

"Downgrade this library to the version that works,"

and what would that version be @qfdk ?

Hello, @fridaystreet
In our case, the 'archiver' package uses 'string-width' as a dependency. (step 1)
We need to roll back its version to ^4.x.x, and then proceed with steps 2 and 3 as mentioned above
