'Routes' is not defined react/jsx-no-undef

So I was following the React Crash Course on YouTube for Beginners from Academind. I was following everything along and everything was good until I came to the Routing part. I followed every step, everything just perfectly (for the routing part) but after refreshing the page the following error occurs:

A <Route> is only ever to be used as the child of <Routes> element, never rendered directly. Please wrap your <Route> in a <Routes>.

Aaand I did it, I wrapped my Route in Routes :

    import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';


import AllMeetupsPage from './Pages/AllMeetups';
import NewMeetupsPage from './Pages/NewMeetups';
import FavoritesPage from './Pages/Favorites';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Routes>
        <Route path='/'>
          <AllMeetupsPage />
        </Route>

        <Route path='/new-meets'>
          <NewMeetupsPage />
        </Route>

        <Route path='/favs'>
          <FavoritesPage />
        </Route>
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

and then I get this:

'Routes' is not defined react/jsx-no-undef

then I :

Tried to import Routes from react-router-dom - No success;

Tried to import Routes from react-router - No success;

Tried to import Routes also in different components - No success;

Trust me I tried every different scenario for Routes but couldnt achieve anything different. I

Googled, researched and couldnt find the solution for this problem.. Now Im desperate and stuck here and I cant continue my React learning journey if I dont fix this...

Well the thing was, that I was following a guide for the older react-router-dom;

In order to fix that, I just read the new docs for react-router-dom@6;

There is no <Switch> now, instead you wrap your APP in just like this:

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router>
    <App />
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById("root")
); 

Then in the App component, you wrap your content in <Routes> and for every different path we use <Route> </Route> or just <Route />, depends on your project.

Theres my example, just to be more clear:

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
    <MainNavigation/>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/" element={<AllMeetups />}></Route>
        <Route path="/new-meetups" element={<NewMeetups />}></Route>
        <Route path="/favorites" element={<Favorites />}></Route>
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}
