punycode Deprecation Warning via node-fetch Dependency

[TomasAyerbe]

Describe the bug

When using the openai package in my Node.js project, I encounter the following deprecation warning:

After investigating, I found that the openai package relies on node-fetch@2.7.0, which in turn depends on whatwg-url@5.0.0. The whatwg-url package is causing the warning as it depends on the deprecated punycode module.

To Reproduce

1. Install openai@latest in a Node.js project.

2. Run any script importing the openai package.

3. Observe the deprecation warning related to punycode.

After digging around - looks like the upcoming 5.0.0 release will fix this!

@eric8810 please try out the v5 alpha, which fixes this deprecation warning, and let us know if you run into any issues!

Adding the following to package.json and then re-installing the dependencies fixed this for me. Note that I am using pnpm:

  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "whatwg-url": "^14.0.0"
    }
  }

To just hide the warning, you could start your app like this: NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1 node app.js.
