[node.js] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues when I move my script to another server

The use of the deprecated new Buffer() constructor (i.E. as used by Yarn) can cause deprecation warnings. Therefore one should NOT use the deprecated/unsafe Buffer constructor.

According to the deprecation warning new Buffer() should be replaced with one of:

  • Buffer.alloc()
  • Buffer.allocUnsafe() or
  • Buffer.from()

Another option in order to avoid this issue would be using the safe-buffer package instead.

You can also try (when using yarn..):

yarn global add yarn

as mentioned here: Link

Another suggestion from the comments (thx to gkiely): self-update

Note: self-update is not available. See policies for enforcing versions within a project

In order to update your version of Yarn, run

curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash
