DeprecationWarning #55

Closed Tobe2d closed 5 years ago

Tobe2d commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I am geting DeprecationWarning when trying to install it:

npm install -g homebridge-camera-rpi

(node:1196) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead. homebridge-camera-rpi@0.0.4 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-camera-rpi └── ip@1.1.5

is it Deprecated and gone for ever? ;-(

moritzmhmk commented 5 years ago

It should still work just fine, it just warns that one of the dependencies is using a method that is deprecated (i.e. this method will not be available soon).

This warning will probably be fixed by the next release using updated dependencies.

@moritzmhmk Thanks for the reply! when i try to installing it all i get is that line.. is there a special way to install it?

(node:5736) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead. /usr/local/lib └── homebridge-camera-rpi@0.0.4

and npm -v?

It looks like there is something outdated with your npm or node installation.

But it should not affect homebridge-camera-rpi, which according to that output did install properly.

Tobe2d commented 5 years ago

1.4.21 (node:5765) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead.

moritzmhmk commented 5 years ago

npm 1.4.21 is about 5 years old. Consider installing an up to date version of node and npm.

Instructions can be found here.

If you use a Raspberry Pi B, B+ or Zero google for an up to date tutorial on installing without the package manager. The latest release for armv6 seems to be 11.x (for 12.x there are no builds for this arch)

Even without installing an up to date version (which I highly recommend anyway!) homebridge-camera-rpi should work and your installation has been successfull so far just yielding that confusing deprecation warning.

I am using pi 3B and HOOBS Release... however this means they are using outdated packages ...

Thank you so much ;-)
