cube-js_1            | Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
cube-js_1            | - npm uninstall -g create-react-app
cube-js_1            | - yarn global remove create-react-app
cube-js_1            | You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).
cube-js_1            | 
cube-js_1            | We no longer support global installation of Create React App.
cube-js_1            | 
cube-js_1            | The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
cube-js_1            | https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

And this when trying to start the app:

cube-js_1            | Dashboard react-app failed with exit code 254

Version: v0.29-alpine

Additional context There is an issue for the create-react-app with the suggestion to use latest version of create-react-app

Hey @meskill ! It seems it's still unresolved here https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/11816. We depend on 4.0.3 of create-react-app and they broke the backward compatibility of the whole installation flow. Ideally, create-react-app should fix this as I believe releasing new versions shouldn't break old ones. Alternatively, we can upgrade create-react-app but it'll require all react dependencies upgrade. We're looking for a volunteer here.

@paveltiunov, any temporary workaround to resolve this issue? Problem still exists. Thank you

Hi, is there a way to bypass this issue ? Do you think this issue could be added at the roadmap ? Tanks.

The option to generate a dashboard application has been removed from Cube long time ago. So, I guess this makes this question irrelevant now.
