[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#991820: node-websocket-driver: autopkgtest needs update for new version of nodejs: DeprecationWarning: The legacy HTTP parser is deprecated.

[Paul Gevers]

Source: node-websocket-driver
Version: 0.3.5-1.1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org, nodejs at packages.debian.org
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: needs-update
Control: affects -1 src:nodejs

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of nodejs (CVE related, but including more changes
than just that) the autopkgtest of node-websocket-driver fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of nodejs
from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In
tabular form:

                       pass            fail
nodejs                 from testing    12.22.4~dfsg-1
node-websocket-driver  from testing    0.3.5-1.1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems that
the CVE fix deliberately made a parser deprecated, which results in a
*warning* to stderr. The default behavior of autopkgtest is to fail on
output to stderr.

Paul
