firebase-tools: Broken dependency: @apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser

v9.1.2 of @apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser has been released, which reverts the breaking change. You should be able to upgrade to this using normal npm version to get it working again.

yarn install --ignore-engines

Worked for me! Thankyou 🙂

Edit: Although this solution worked, everytime a package is installed you have to pass the flag again. So, I added this to package.json to avoid passing the flag.

"resolutions": {
    "@apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser": "9.1.0"
  }

After adding this, I deleted the yarn.lock file and did yarn install again.

I find a solution --> You can use --> yarn install --ignore-engines --> to allows package authors to state which node engines are required for the package to work.

I am seeing the exact same error

error @apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser@9.1.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">= 17". Got "16.19.0"

this was working before not sure if an update has caused this
