[dontbesatisfied]

same issue

[DavidProf]

To solve this problem it is necessary to update some dependencies from pm2/io package | pm2/io repo.
The dependencies that are giving the warning are probably these @opencensus/core & @opencensus/propagation-b3, just update to version 0.0.22 or 0.1.0 must work at least for production(final build), but that would break the build so it's not easy as change 2 digits.

The warning is really annoying tho

P.S. There are warnings in the dev dependencies too but I don't know if they will matter.

[flysnoworg]

This library uses too many old dependencies. Is no one maintaining it anymore?

[KevinNovak]

Any updates on this? I have been trying to get rid of warnings in my app and pm2 is the only one left causing issues.

[DavidProf]

@KevinNovak nop, I tried to update one time but I had some problems doing it, so I created a issue where the problem is, to ask for help but for now, there's no update.

I did this fork but I broke a lot of things and I still don't have the time to see it.

If that's too annoying you could try to fix and open a PR, but I'm not sure if they will approve (are they active?).

Edit:

Actually, there is a pull request regarding this

keymetrics/pm2-io-apm#287

But it was not approved yet because it has conflicts

[thecertifiednoob]

any update ?

[DavidProf]

any update ?

@thecertifiednoob

There is an issue for the problem:

• old dependency uuid@3.4.0 keymetrics/pm2-io-apm#285

Not that someone really cares to fix it. Like me btw, that just gave in because I didn't want to use it anymore (doesn't have a use for my use case nowadays). And it is just a warning, not really that important for this project in specific, just annoying.

+1 here
when is solved?

[cesarjorgemartinez]

Using node 16:

npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

[sephentos]

@Unitech Could you please leave some information here? This 3-year old deprecated module should be updated imo.

[robbiedood]

Same here. Hope to hear your expertise on the issue.

[loongphuong]

@Unitech Any update on this issue? It's too outdated. Hope to hear from you guy soon
