Description

console.error log is generated (triggering alarms in our environment).

Console Errors: (node:8) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead. (Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)

Only workaround is to overrule console.error before the call (& restore afterward).
