@sashko's workaround seems to work - deleting node_modules was necessary as well.

One thing I missed was the caret in "^4.0.1". The version needs to be fixed without the caret ^, which seems to be the issue that @Rolly is having. Make sure it's 4.0.1.

Only a workaround until react-scripts updates to v4 (I'm using create-react-app)
