Dependencies have high severity vulnerabilities

[ashelman-ec]

Trying to follow the hapipal Getting Started tutorial, but ran into these issues:

1. npm init @hapipal does not work on Windows, see today's comments in hapipal.com issue #72
2. trying instead to use the workaround given in that issue, we are still left with the following dependency problems

> npm install
npm WARN deprecated babel-eslint@10.1.0: babel-eslint is now @babel/eslint-parser. This package will no longer receive updates.
npm WARN deprecated @hapi/eslint-config-hapi@13.0.2: This module has moved and is now available as part of @hapi/eslint-plugin. Please update your dependencies as this version is no longer maintained and may contain bugs and security issues.
npm WARN deprecated @hapi/eslint-plugin-hapi@4.3.6: This module has moved and is now available at @hapi/eslint-plugin. Please update your dependencies as this version is no longer maintained and may contain bugs and security issues.

To address issues that do not require attention, run:
  npm audit fix

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Run `npm audit` for details.

Manually editing package.json to replace"babel-eslint": "10.x.x" with "@babel/eslint-parser": "7.x.x" quiets one of the warnings (but I don't know whether this newer version has any breaking changes and will actually work correctly)

But that still leaves the security vulnerabilities:

I see this is the same as boilerplate issue #99.

I am too new to Javascript & hapi to submit a PR at this time, though might be competent enough in a couple months...

[ashelman-ec]

Hmm linting is broken and not sure how to fix it...

[Nargonath]

How is linting broken? Did you mean in your own project or while contributing to hapipal?

[ashelman-ec]

I mean, once I reached this part of the tutorial, npm run lint failed, as below.

Note that, per the deprecation warnings at the top of this issue, I had modified package.json and .eslintrc.json from @hapi/eslint-plugin-hapi to @hapi/eslint-plugin. Not sure if that was the correct thing to do...

> npm run lint

> hapipal-boilerplate@3.0.0 lint
> eslint .

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 7.32.0

ESLint couldn't find the config "@hapi/eslint-plugin" to extend from. Please check that the name of the config is correct.

The config "@hapi/eslint-plugin" was referenced from the config file in "C:\Users\...\paldo-riddles\.eslintrc.json".

If you still have problems, please stop by https://eslint.org/chat/help to chat with the team.

Ok, thanks @ashelman-ec for the explanation. Not sure what's the problem though. I'd have to check for myself. I don't have much available bandwidth right now, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that.
