npm WARN deprecated 📦 npm

npm WARN deprecated package@1.2.3: This package is no longer supported.

A dependency (often a transitive one) is deprecated by its author.

Seen on: npm

Meaning

Warnings, not errors. Many come from deep dependencies you don’t control (glob, inflight, rimraf). Upgrade direct dependencies to pull in newer versions.

Common causes

  • Old direct dependency
  • Transitive dependency of an outdated package
  • Package abandoned by its maintainer

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Find who pulls it in: npm ls package
  2. Upgrade the parent package
  3. Use overrides only when safe

Detailed fix by platform

npm

  1. npm ls inflight

How to diagnose

  1. Source — Direct or transitive?
  2. Recent change — Did it start after a deploy, upgrade, or configuration change? Compare with the last working version.
