Add deprecation for global installs
Created by: mrmckeb
Is your proposal related to a problem?
When rolling out new features that require changes to the create-react-app
package, we regularly see issues related to users with older, global installs of that package.
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, we should add a deprecation warning in react-scripts
so that when it a user attempts to install it with a globally installed create-react-app
, they're asked to remove it and use npx
or yarn create
instead.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, or additionally, we could add this to create-react-app
itself, but that won't fix the issue for those with older installs.
