Broken Outlook Extension (React JS) JavaScript Sample (Again)

[RA-Davies]

Once again we appear to have a non-working (quite broken) yo generator for React JS Outlook add-in.

Previously, if you recall we had an invalid self-closed <Host xsi:type="MailHost"/> which - after quite some sleuthing I was able to resolve and build an add-in without issue. It looks like you've now solved, this but much worse things appear to happen using yo office when creating a React JS Outlook add-in (JavaScript) version... the package.json generated starts with:

0.2",
"eslint-plugin-react": "^7.28.0",
"file-loader": "^6.2.0",
"find-process": "^1.4.4",
"html-loader": "^5.0.0",
"html-webpack-plugin": "^5.6.0",

...
..

Which of course is wrong and will lead to broken JSON that doesn't parse, leading to a project that won't build

Can I politely suggest you test these things before pushing them out?

In the meantime, does anyone have a valid (current) packages.json sample for this type of project (as I can see both this and the manifest.xml has changed a lot since I last used it)

If it helps, the complete log after running yo office is:

I'm all done. Running npm install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.
