It is specifically complaining about this line

Expected/desired behavior:

• What is the expected behavior?

The library should be updated to not use the deprecated functionality.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Remove console deprecation warnings

Would you like to provide a pull request for this one @michaelbull ?
something like let storageInfo = navigator.webkitTemporaryStorage || window.webkitStorageInfo

[michaelbull]

Not sure where it's being used

[avrahamcool]

when ./node_modules/webpack/buildin/global.js is loaded, the value is window.
iterating over the window properties causes this issue (because the deprecated property is still there).

this can be fixed like shown here.

but it's actually pointless, because when it will be actually removed - then it will not show up in the for.. in and problem solved.

[EisenbergEffect]

Closing this since there's a workaround. Also, we'll merge a PR that prevents exceptions during enumeration, shortly.

@EisenbergEffect Hi, any updates on the official patch? Was that aforementioned PR even created?

[EisenbergEffect]

@smajl The patch was merged, yes.

[LilSebastian5000]

So this is still being worked on and we should ignore the warning? Still getting this error from aurelia-metadata (webpack 3.10, ecmascript 6)

@EisenbergEffect

[abowen]

I've installed version 1.0.6 and still getting this warning.

[GustavRoder]

Yup, the problem is still here with version 1.0.6 :)

[bigopon]

Let me have a go at fixing this annoying warning then. Thanks for nudging

[josundt]

@bigopon I added PR #65 with a quick fix to this warning that has been a console distraction for some time now.
