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

var userPasswordString   new Buffer baseAuth   base64   toString  ascii     Change this line from your code to this - var userPasswordString   Buffer from baseAuth   base64   toString  ascii     or in my case  I gave the encoding in reverse order var userPasswordString   Buffer from baseAuth   utf-8   toString  base64
