I have just started this project. I clicked on the Replit link:

Use our Replit starter project to complete your project.

and then pressed Done and then pressed

This came up in the console:

I see it all the time now with old fcc courses.
These are warnings for deprecated node modules used by the starter projects. I usually just ignore them, if you update nothing, nothing will break.
You can try to update the modules like the console asks you or just create a new boilerplate adding the test suite to it, but i don’t know if something in the test suite breaks. Since these are just private exercises i won’t even bother, just be aware that something can be different with the online docs of said libraries.

Starter projects for some courses really needs an update tho.

Thank you for replying - I’ll just ignore them then :slightly_smiling_face:
