Question about the flag --enginesNode

[iiNomad23]

My project has following configured:
"engines": { "node": "^18.0.0" },

but i still get ignored incompatible updates like:
eslint ^8.57.0 → ^9.18.0 reason: requires node ^18.18.0 || ^20.9.0 || >=21.1.0

Shoudn't eslint version 9.18 be allowed? what am i missing?

Hi, thanks for your question.

Have you tried setting your node engine to ^18.18.0? I'm thinking maybe the lower range of ^18.0.0 might be causing the incompatibility. There is a valid intersection between the two though, so I'm not sure 🤔

Yeah it works with ^18.18.0.
I think the reasoning behind that is, if someone else is using my project and they are required to use a node version e.g. <=18.2. So, my project would be allowed but eslint woudn't.
