Can you add the hacktoberfest-accepted tag to that PR by any chance @halfzebra ?

[Slumber86]

I'm commenting just to point out that react-dev-utils is breaking the build, we are tryng to update it for months but is full of breaking changes. @jlengrand please consider to remove the update

[jlengrand]

Interesting, thanks for the info! In what way does it break the build? Both CIs pass and I have been running the thing locally without issues?

Can you give some more context so I can look into it please?

[Slumber86]

It shows a white page with this errror:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string.

just checkout the project and run npm run app:start

Alright @Slumber86 i've reverted the react-dev-utils change.

I see that since I created that PR, 5 more dependencies deprecations came in. If this one does not get merge soon, it will be outdated again.
I have no problem adding the extra deps in this PR (except for react-dev-utils) but it'd be nice if I could get a signal whether this is desired, welcome or worthful :).

Thanks for the help BTW!

[jlengrand]

Annnnd, the build is green!

[Slumber86]

I think we should hear from @halfzebra

[jlengrand]

That's alright. I don't want to overload him either :). Is @halfzebra the only current contributor for the project?

[halfzebra]

Merging this, thanks for the effort, and sorry for the delay!
