There were several PRs (https://github.com/browserstack/browserstack-local-nodejs/pull/54, https://github.com/browserstack/browserstack-local-nodejs/pull/70, https://github.com/browserstack/browserstack-local-nodejs/pull/71) attempting to fix this issue, which all were silently ignored. What is the problem? What needs to be done to get one of them reviewed and merged?\r\n\r\nIn particular https://github.com/browserstack/browserstack-local-nodejs/pull/54 does not do any extra changes, which may be risky, but plainly removes unnecessary dependencies, so consumers don't have to install them and see irrelevant warning.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/devoto13","@type":"Person","name":"devoto13"},"datePublished":"2019-05-25T20:53:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/77/browserstack-local-nodejs/issues/77"}
