Warnings in npm install for nodejs package

[pierskarsenbarg]

When installing the latest NPM package @pulumi/gcp I'm seeing some deprecation warnings from the read-package-json package that we reference here:

pulumi-gcp/provider/resources.go

Line 2739 in 21aedd2

"read-package-json": "^2.0.13",

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This package is no longer supported. Please use @npmcli/package-json instead.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

Hey @pierskarsenbarg, thanks for reporting. Can you help me understand the impact here? The deprecated warnings are not great but can be silenced, right?

This is, unfortunately, somewhat tricky to fix. I had a go but the module is used in our custom typescript overlay and we'd need to backfill a lot of tests here to change that.

It's more "the warnings aren't great" than anything else and to get them on the radar.

Not sure what the inflight one does but "leaks memory" doesn't sound very good
