The following packages could not be resolved: ${diff.join(',

Error message

The following packages could not be resolved: ${diff.join(', ')}

What it means

Validation error in the DependencyTree constructor: after walking the dependency graph from the root, some of the requested templatePackages were never reached — they are absent from the template's package manifest or not connected to the resolved root, so the tree cannot be built for them.

Solutions

1. Check that every package listed in templatePackages exists in the template manifest's packages array.
2. Verify each listed package is reachable from the root package (packages with installsTo == null) via installsTo links.
3. Remove or correct misspelled package names in the template configuration.
