How to fix this warning: npm WARN deprecated cross-spawn-async@2.2.5: cross-spawn no longer requires a build toolchain, use it instead

I know its not a problem for the site to run, but I tired of the warning

My homepage is: https://www.halfdaner.dk and its running fine - and it hosted by digitalocean, but im tired of the warning

It’s a warning from npm. If you want to fix it then you’d need to send a PR to Ghost-CLI GitHub - TryGhost/Ghost-CLI: CLI Tool for installing & updating Ghost upgrading whichever dependency is triggering the warning.

Sorry Hannah, I’m a noob. What did you mean with PR

Can you help me out here?

Hi again :)

Thanks for your reply!

@Hannah

It’s a warning from npm. If you want to fix it then you’d need to send a PR to Ghost-CLI https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI upgrading whichever dependency is triggering the warning.

I’m really a NOOB! Really!! - So please step by step.

Can someone guide me step by step to find the dependency that is triggering the warning?
and make a pull request?

I have tried to reinstall the hole server from digital ocean, and still, the same error when I running “sudo npm i -g ghost-cli@latest” efter end install

Thanks @dsecareanu

It’s not an error, it’s just a warning and is completely safe to ignore (you’ll probably see a lot of them over time ) . It won’t go away from re-installing anything, the dependencies/code in GitHub - TryGhost/Ghost-CLI: CLI Tool for installing & updating Ghost need updating and a new Ghost-CLI version released, once a new release has been made public you would need to install the new version of Ghost-CLI for the warning to disappear.

If you’re up for going down a rather large node.js development rabbit hole here are some resources that may be useful if you want to help update the Ghost-CLI dependencies (in addition to the pull requests link above):

About npm | npm Docs

Yarn (we use this as an alternative client to the npm registry)

If you only want to run your site, ignore the warning and be happy

Hi

Thanks for explaining me this in languages, so I understand it.

I will ignore the warning, and wait for an update

Kind regards
