cordova - npm WARN deprecated minimatch@2.0.10: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue

Question

I'm getting below warning while installing cordova. How I can resolve it?

Please see the image to know what happened when i ran below commands :

npm update minimatch@3.0.2

npm update -d

Answer 1

npm update -g minimatch@3.0.2 Resolved this for me, no sweat, let me know if it doesn't work for you. Looking at your screenshots this is 90%+ likely to fix it, I think.

Looks like npm@2.15.8 which is listed in a couple of the cordova packages, has a dependency on node-gyp@3.3.1 which has a dependency on minimatch@2.0.10

This is an example of why npm is the package manager of infinite madness. I still like modern JavaScript, but npm is as dangerous as it is useful, in my opinion.
