I think this is a bad idea. I don't use TS, why should I install this plugin?

Hey @demkovych, I see your point.
What do you suggest as a solution?
Remove @deftomat optimization?
Create a plugin system?

@elevatebart I don't know. As i see, we can't use fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin without typescript installed. Maybe will be better to move this plugin to devDevendencies and move plugin import under https://github.com/deftomat/create-react-app/blob/321d960a67ad3dba8633adfe3292f14c281db7d8/packages/react-dev-utils/WebpackDevServerUtils.js#L141 ?

[elevatebart]

The problem of the dependency issue will still occur if someone is using typescript, without having this plugin as an explicit dependency, react-dev-utils will break again.

This eslint rule would have caught this issue

Or rollback to "react-dev-utils": "7.0.1"

[elevatebart]

That was my reflex too. Hope someone checks here soon.

[deftomat]

My apologies guys. That's the "classic" monorepo issue. I forgot to add it into dependencies. 😞

Looks like #6395 is a better approach.

[ianschmitz]

Hey just looking into this now.

[elevatebart]

It still adds the ts-checker dependency to people without typescript... Oh well...

[ianschmitz]

We decided to revert #5903 to fix react-dev-utils for downstream consumers. This will give us a bit of time to figure out the best solution for how to consume the fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin dependency.

2.1.5 is now available

Heya,

I can see that #6395 has been merged but it also says here that #5903 was reverted.

Could you clarify where are things now please? I'm keen to get the improved TypeScript experience out there in a way that doesn't impede people who don't want to use TypeScript...
