Just open package.json and change version.
Or install exact version:

npm i helmet@3.21.3

thanks for your reply to my question, I have ran the above command and made sure the correct code is in myApp.js but I still get the message, helmet version 3.21.3 should be in package.json

Thanks,

Hi @Gee-Max. Try changing the version of helmet in package.json manually so that it becomes "helmet": "^3.21.3". Save and click run.

Then you’re probably submitting the wrong repl.it link. Try the one from the preview pane.

tried it with both links same outcome,
what is it that you have to put in the myApp.js file ?
this is what I am putting in there.

const helmet = require(‘helmet’);

Hi nibble, I have tried that it didn’t work.
Thanks

Welcome, Gee-Max.

The version number cannot have any carets (^) or tildes (~).

This command should help:

npm install --save-exact helmet@3.21.3

Hope this helps

Hi @Sky020 this worked thanks very much, how come it didn’t work when it included the caret(^) before the version number ?

:grinning:

Unfortunately, it is the way the tests have been written:

text: '<code>helmet</code> version <code>3.21.3</code> should be in <code>package.json</code>'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/package.json').then(data => { var packJson = JSON.parse(data); assert(packJson.dependencies.helmet === '3.21.3' ); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })

We are planning on fixing this.

Ah ok, thanks for your help
