`build-docs` fails with React 19

[simoneguzzi]

Hi All 👋 Thank you for the neat tool you developed 😎 I just updated my project to React 19, and the build-docs script seems to have a problem with that.

Describe the bug

build-docs fails with React 19.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I'm not using a config file
2. Doesn't seem to be relevant
3. node_modules/.bin/redocly build-docs your-openapi-schema.yaml
4. Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {$$typeof, type, key, props, _owner, _store}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

Expected behavior

Script should run without errors.

Logs

❯ node_modules/.bin/redocly build-docs schema.yaml

Additional context

I'm having this problem and I don't have React declared at all. I see now the Redocly is pulling in the latest React and that's why I'm seeing this error.

Here's my patch to make it work:

Thanks for rising this issue!

@AlexVarchuk could you check if that's a Redoc issue? Does it support React 19 at all?

Hi @tatomyr, I think it is a React 19 issue in Redoc. We'll look into it.

This week we are going to deploy Redoc CE with supporting React 19.
