electron
Electron seems depending an unsupported package: npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported.
Forwarding this issue from here : https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/44416
Just encountered the same issue.
System: Sonoma MacBook Pro M1 14"
I was updating node_mods and seemed to get the same:
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact Support at https://www.npmjs.com/support for more info.
Reposting from the electron/electron issue, but this is the upstream problem: https://github.com/gajus/global-agent/issues/70
use npm install electron@latest
That won't work. The global-agent package has not been patched to remove usage of the boolean package yet as per the upstream issue.
Any Solution?
I had this same issue when I try to create an electron folder myself, but when I used the Electron quick start on Github it no longer gave me the warning that the package wasn't supported. Very odd but that's what worked for me.
Installing a new version of electron won't solve the issue according to this project's lockfile. Perhaps npm just isn't showing the warning on every single install?

It is still there after half a year no ? Any solution found or any news about it ?
I'm currently building on Electron and the warning did go away. npm i just now, no issues

Maybe they fixed it now, I started the project when I commented, or it happens to some and to some not xd

There hasn't been a new release fixing the upstream issue since, so no. Please read the above context in thread.
i had the same issue but solved it running "npm update", in the CLI. after that you can run the "npm install electron --save-dev" sucessfully. let me know if it worked for you.
The issue still persists as of today:

However if I install the latest version of @electron/get first (4.0.0), then install electron after, the warning disappears.
Create a new directory, run 'npm init - y' Then run 'npm update' You will get the package - lock. Json script Run 'npm i - d electron'. The quote is not included in the code pls . Are you on windows?

Sorry I saw the rest of your message and realized that it was successful. It will still show you the warn message but then it will work. Try initializing the window and see if it doesn't work use the directions of the previous message I sent you. Cheers

The warning persists for me even with this method, it's just that it appears during installation of @electron/get instead of electron. (Ventura MacBook Air M1, if it helps.)

Oh god thank you for this. I was about to pull my last few hairs out. Did the "npm i - d electron" command and no issue. Ran "npm install electron --save-dev" again and no errors.
It seems that someone has fixed the upstream issue, but the pull request is still pending for review: https://github.com/gajus/global-agent/pull/72#issue-2793183545
