Theprogrammersfirst: With nestjs / node / npm project how to override a transitive dependency

2022-01-25

I have a nestjs / node / npm project and trying to override a transitive dependency due to security vulnerability.

The project that seems to include it is:

"@nestjs/common": "7.6.18",

And that project includes axios 0.21.1, I want to upgrade to axios 0.21.2

In my package.json I tried using the overrides feature with the following.

},
"overrides": {
    "axios": "0.21.2"
},
"jest": {

But then I get this entry when I run npm list.

npm list --depth=4 

│ ├─┬ axios@0.21.1 invalid: "0.21.2" from node_modules/@nestjs/common

And only seems to include axios 0.21.2.

How do I upgrade a transitive dependency?

I am mostly using the nest wrappers:

nest build, etc

npm --version - 8.3.1

node --version - v17.4.0
