Question

I have a third party node module, that uses the old sys naming scheme, and a third party PHP module that decides, whether node has been running successfully based on its output. And it seems like that warning is considered a failure, which causes an exception. I would like not to change any vendor code, e.g. not replace sys with util and not make PHP aware that this warning isn’t critical. Is that possible?

Answer 1

The solution is easy.

Find the third party module on github, fork it, replace all references of sys with util and make a pull request.

Then either wait for it to be pulled in or use your own fork in your code.
