Dependencies causing errors during build

[bcpmihail]

Description

Errors appear during installing modules in vrotest before running the unit tests.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build BTVA or child project
2. Observe the logs

Preconditions:

Expected behavior: No Errors in the logs

Actual behavior: The following errors appear:

[ERROR] npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
[ERROR] npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

Reproduces how often: Always

I haven't investigated the issue, but thought this might be helpful information:

Seeing the versions mentioned this is highly likely related to Jest (see this issue jestjs/jest#15173).

It will be fixed in Jest v30. Which could release any day (see this issue: jestjs/jest#15556).

If it needs to be "fixed" before that, you could try the suggestion in the first issue, where you use the overrides key in the package.json (reference). But this might cause unexpected behavior.

Thank you, these are good points to consider!

FYI the result of running npm ls --all in vrotest/run (after npm install):

The problematic inflight dependency comes from the outdated glob version, updating glob should resolve the issue.

The errors seem to be caused by the committed package-lock.json files; after removing those locally and rebuilding, the errors are no longer shown and the dependencies changed to

Errors are still present - gulp-jasmine 4.0.0 (latest version, from 7y ago) does not work with jasmine 5.6.0. Exploring alternatives.
