On 8.0 Mac platform we are facing an issue where “npm” is throwing below mentioned warning :

---

npm --version
(node:17095) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.
1.4.28

All tests are passing but it’s just appending this warning in the output . as mentioned below :

osx-intel64-80-build:qa builder$ mocha -R xunit node-client-api/test-complete/nodejs-config-query.js

I'm seeing the following dependencies (or subdependencies) in the node-client-api having graceful-fs as a dependency:

globule          "graceful-fs": "~1.2.0"
gulp             "graceful-fs": "^3.0.0"
klaw             "graceful-fs": "^4.1.9"
load-json-file   "graceful-fs": "^4.1.2"
path-type        "graceful-fs": "^4.1.2"
vinyl-fs         "graceful-fs": "^3.0.0"

Also I would like to share that the npm version is 1.4.8 on 8.0 regression machines whereas on 9.0 machines its 3.10.3 and we are not seeing any issue on 9.0

Related to this issue is the issue for addressing outdated dependencies:

#343

@MayankBhatnagar89, is this still an issue?

I updated direct dependencies per #343 (current develop branch) but there are still some (sub)dependencies that are based on older versions of graceful-fs. There's nothing we can do about that.

If this is a significant issue on your side, you can try upgrading your npm:

npm upgrade -g npm
