Description
I want to create a vs code extension. Therefore I setup the project like described in the docs:
npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code
I started it the first time in dev mode and i get a couple of deprecation warnings:
Here a summary:
- Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues.
- The
punycodemodule is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
Full logs:
(node:47178) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use `Code Helper (Plugin) --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:47178) ExperimentalWarning: SQLite is an experimental feature and might change at any time
[INFO] 2026-01-18T20:23:59.032Z - Translations initialized.
[INFO] 2026-01-18T20:23:59.034Z - Extension activated!
(node:47178) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
Congratulations, your extension "tangleguard" is now active!
