Dependency Version Conflict Checker
Analyze package dependency graphs, semantic version constraints, and transitive mismatches to detect and resolve version conflicts across projects.
Resolution Guidelines
1. Transitive Overrides
Use package overrides or resolutions fields (e.g., resolutions in package.json or DirectDependency pins in .NET) to force single versions.
2. Semantic Version Ranges
Caret (^) and tilde (~) operators define allowable patch and minor range updates, avoiding breaking major version conflicts.
What is Dependency Version Conflict Checker?
Analyze package dependency graphs, semantic version constraints, and transitive mismatches to detect and resolve version conflicts across projects.
Dependency Version Conflict Checker features
- Available tool controls: Add Package.
- Input and option fields: Ecosystem / Package Manager:, Resolution Strategy:, Declared Dependencies:.
Using Dependency Version Conflict Checker in a development workflow
A validator can narrow down why a sample fails a syntax or rule check. Start with the complete input, inspect the first reported issue, and correct the source rather than only hiding the message. A pass means the checked rules were satisfied; it does not confirm business logic, compatibility, or security unless those checks are explicitly included.
Check the project’s versioning rules
- Check the project manifest and lockfile together before relying on a version or range result.
- Pay attention to these page fields: Ecosystem / Package Manager:, Resolution Strategy:, Declared Dependencies:. Confirm which fields are inputs, options, or output areas before processing.
- The page exposes these relevant actions: Add Package. Choose only the action that matches the result you need.
- A version comparison does not install or test a package. Review release notes and run the project’s checks before upgrading.
Confirm compatibility in the target project
Version ranges depend on package-manager semantics and project lockfiles. Compare the result with the package manager and registry used by the project.
