formidable@1.2.6 deprecated!!

[frgonzalezb]

During installation with npm install @capacitor/assets --save-dev, the console reports this warning:

npm WARN deprecated formidable@1.2.6: Please upgrade to latest, formidable@v2 or formidable@v3! Check these notes: https://bit.ly/2ZEqIau

The link from the console leads here.

In short: version 1 is deprecated, version 2 is about to be deprecated and version 3 is the stable one.

As in many cases, npm audit fix do nothing, so please update that package to its lastest version.

If anyone wants to use it now while waiting for them to update the package, I tried adding a resolution in package.json and the installation works fine.

  "resolutions": {
    "formidable": "^3.0.0"
  }

I hope this helps!

Formidable is required in this module because trapeze needs it, which depends on mergexml.

So this is a mergexml issue, open issue here. Incidentally it seems mergexml only uses formidable as a dev dependency.
