Why do I keep getting this warning message below when I try to install mongoose?
npm WARN deprecated mongodb@2.2.16: Please upgrade to 2.2.19 or higher
json:
{
"name": "dummy-app",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/www"
},
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "~1.15.1",
"cookie-parser": "~1.4.3",
"debug": "~2.2.0",
"express": "~4.13.4",
"pug": "~2.0.0-beta3",
"morgan": "~1.7.0",
"serve-favicon": "~2.3.0",
"mongoose": "^4.7.6"
}
}
How can I fix that?
The npm package mongodb is a dependency of mongoose: it is automatically installed by npm when you install mongoose.
mongoose v4.7.6 depends on mongodb 2.2.16 (see its package.json file), but there is a newer bugfix release available (2.2.19) which is why you see the warning.
As mongodb is a dependency of mongoose, you will have to wait for a mongoose maintainer to update the dependency: this is not an issue you have to fix in your code.
As a matter of fact, this issue is already tracked in mongoose's Github here.
