[DavidFaizulaev]

Describe the bug
When running npm install [email protected] I encounter the following message:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact [email protected] for more info.

Is there an intention to update or replace the packages that use nomnom ?

To Reproduce
Simply run npm install [email protected]

Expected behavior
Finish installation without any issues.

Thanks for filing this as an issue!

Is there an intention to update or replace the packages that use nomnom ?

Definitely. Currently there's #1220 open, but it's failing, so I need to figure out upgrading the dependencies one by one. I don't recall from where exactly nomnom comes, but I remember we've been urging a maintainer of one project to replace it. If you feel like helping with investigation on which package exactly is the culprit and what exactly needs to be upgraded, it would be awesome.

Hey @honzajavorek , isn't just going over package-lock and finding the packages that use nomnom and updating them?

[realityking]

Unfortunately this is not a matter of an outdated package but an unmaintained package. This PR would fix it: dchester/jsonpath#94

[realityking]

dchester/jsonpath#94 got resolved and dredd no longer depends on nomnom :)

[honzajavorek]

I can confirm that installing Dredd doesn't print anything about nomnom anymore:

$ npm i dredd

> node scripts/postinstall || echo "ignore"

There is the call for support of core-js now, but we can't do much about that except of perhaps hiring @zloirock to the @apiaryio team. That would be a separate issue though 😄
