Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

  • I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Using this package.json npm i fails with below error message.

package.json:

{
  "name": "angular-package-install-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "npm i fails with these dependencies",
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "19.2.9",
    "jest-preset-angular": "14.4.2"
  }
}

Error Message:

Observations

If I install [email protected] by itself, npm resolves @angular/[email protected] instead of the latest 19.x.x version. The peerDependencies for jest-preset-angular should be pulling the latest 19.x.x version as far as I can tell.

  "peerDependencies": {
    "@angular/compiler-cli": ">=15.0.0 <20.0.0",
    "@angular/core": ">=15.0.0 <20.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": ">=15.0.0 <20.0.0",
    "jest": "^29.0.0",
    "typescript": ">=4.8"
  },

npm list @angular/platform-browser-dynamic

└─┬ [email protected]
  └── @angular/[email protected]

npm list @angular/compiler

└─┬ [email protected]
  ├─┬ @angular/[email protected]
  │ └── @angular/[email protected] invalid: "19.2.9" from node_modules/@angular/platform-browser-dynamic
  └─┬ @angular/[email protected]
    └── @angular/[email protected] deduped invalid: "19.2.9" from node_modules/@angular/platform-browser-dynamic

npm error code ELSPROBLEMS

Expected Behavior

I would expect npm i to install the dependencies successfully.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. In this environment (Node v25.2.1, MacOS 15.7.2 (24G325))

  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "19.2.9",
    "jest-preset-angular": "14.4.2"
  }
}
  1. Run npm i
