npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.7: use uuid module instead

[mderazon]

Don't see any deprecation notice here

What am I missing ?

[danjenkins]

Looks like the package node-uuid package on npm has been deprecated but the repo hasn't been because its now serving up the source code for uuid. Issue #142 explains what happened

[broofa]

Renaming kelektiv/node-uuid to kelektiv/uuid at some point might avoid confusion?

[alvirbismonte]

Hi @broofa , any updates on your provided answer? Does renaming the folder actually solves the issue?

[bondif]

so what's the solution ??

[broofa]

npm uninstall --save node-uuid
npm install --save uuid

The old node-uuid module is deprecated and won't be maintained moving forward. The module is still published in NPM for backward compatibility (with the deprecation notice). If you need the source, clone this repo then git checkout v1.4.7.

Yea, I have to say, this was slightly confusing at first.

It might be nice if the readme here had an explanation of what's going on?

[broofa]

@defunctzombie - We can just rename this github project and let github redirect everything, right? Then update the repository info in package.json in the next release...?

[defunctzombie]

We can, but I don't really see the huge value in it. The deprecation notice is on the module name, not on our repo. And is a packaging artifact and not a repo artifact. I am pretty sure the deprecation notice already says use the uuid module instead.

The better solution might be to just add something to the readme.

👍 @broofa Thanks.

[broofa]

@maheshkareeya Cordova-lib is depending on old version of npm, that's pulling in an old request version that uses the old node-uuid module. The deprecation warning is harmless and will go away when Cordova updates to more recent npm module version

`-- cordova@6.5.0

So guys uuid module is just a warning message... you must avoid it completely as it does n't creates any trouble in your further process... :)
All the commands like of add platform and build is running completely well.
If you want to know the correct and error free method of adding platform and running build command
check -> ionic-team/ionic-framework#4712

[tusharkkumar]

Are you getting this error in the ionic

…
