Hi @ArDev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems like you're experiencing a dependency conflict with the
dotenv package. Wasp requires that user dependencies match exactly with the versions it uses. In your case, Wasp is using dotenv version ^16.0.2 and your project is using version ^16.0.3.
To resolve this issue, you should adjust your package.json file to match the dotenv version that Wasp is using. Here's how you can do it:
1. Open your package.json file.
2. Find the dotenv dependency.
3. Change its version to ^16.0.2.
4. Save the file and run npm install or yarn install to update your node_modules.
This should resolve the dependency conflict and allow your Wasp project to compile successfully.
This issue is related to the way Wasp handles dependency version checking, as discussed in this Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1859). Wasp currently requires that user dependencies match exactly with the versions it uses to avoid conflicts. However, this approach can sometimes lead to false positives in the version conflict check.
Please note that the Wasp team is considering allowing users to specify some NPM dependency versions themselves, as discussed in this Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/645). This could potentially alleviate such issues in the future.

Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?@ArDev did you resolve this one? So error messsages says exactly what you need to do
yeah just didnt need the package itslef
@kapa.ai I'm having the same problem and when I follow your instructions it gives the same error with the versions revered. Just like in the message above.
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. You're right, and I see now that the error messages are alternating between two versions. This situation highlights a known issue with Wasp's dependency management system. Let me explain what's happening and suggest a possible workaround.
The problem you're experiencing is related to how Wasp handles dependency conflicts, as discussed in this Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1859). Currently, Wasp uses a strict version matching system that can sometimes lead to conflicts like the one you're seeing.
In your case, it seems that Wasp is alternating between requiring
dotenv version ^16.0.2 and ^16.0.3. This is likely due to a mismatch between the version Wasp expects and the version specified in your project's package.json.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:
1. First, try running wasp clean to clear any cached dependencies.
2. Check your project's package.json file and remove the dotenv dependency entirely. Wasp should provide its own version of dotenv.
3. If removing dotenv from package.json doesn't work, try specifying both versions in your package.json:
This tells npm that either version is acceptable.
4. After making these changes, run npm install or yarn install to update your node_modules.
5. Try running your Wasp commands again.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be worth considering using a specific version of Wasp that you know works with your project. You can do this by using the wasp version use command, as mentioned in this Github issue discussion (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/616).
Lastly, it's worth noting that the Wasp team is aware of these dependency management issues and is working on improvements. There's an ongoing discussion about allowing more flexible dependency management, as seen in this Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/59).
If you continue to face problems, I recommend reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014) for more direct assistance.
