Warning is output with Node.js 14

[fu-sen]

I updated to the new version of Node.js 14.0.0, which was recently published.
Then surge will always return the following output:

(node:8280) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Of these, 8280 is random. the operation of surge CLI itself works.

Thanks for reporting. We'll look into it!

Node.js has been updated to 14.1.0. This issue continues.
(I use Windows 10 PowerShell)

> surge --version

   v0.21.3

(node:6752) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

For anyone reading this, the underlying issue is with the https://github.com/winstonjs/winston logging library. See winstonjs/winston#1797

The message is the result of new error logging added in Node 14 (nodejs/node#29935).

@jfarmer thank you for the info. It helps a lot.

@sintaxi whinston fix winstonjs/winston#1800 was merged a while ago
Could you update deps?

[syabro]

Hmm, looks like prompt is not maintained anymore.
I think the best solution here is to switch to https://www.npmjs.com/package/prompts or https://www.npmjs.com/package/enquirer

[sintaxi]

@syabro thanks. What do you suppose is the easiest solution for taking care of the warning?

[syabro]

@sintaxi actually AFAIS prompt is being imported only

surge/lib/middleware/util/helpers.js

Line 1 in 86f3b43

var prompt = require('prompt')

But moreover it's not being used.
So I think you can just remove it.

[syabro]

Also I would strongly recommend to add eslint with https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars

[sintaxi]

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting @syabro.

I just released surge@0.21.7 which removes prompt which should resolve these CLI issues on node@14.x.

I ran npm i -g surge and saw this improvement. Thank you for the improvement! 😄

@fu-sen you're welcome!
