OSX 10.6 CoffeeScript 1.2.0 node.js v0.7.7-pre I am seeing a deprecation notice every time

  • node.js v0.7.7-pre

I am seeing a deprecation notice every time I run the coffee command. The notice is this:

path.exists is deprecated. It is now called `fs.exists`.

I know that this is happening because node.js deprecated path.exists. See

https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2587

I would think there would be a lot of info about this but all I can see is some indirect reference relating to a more serious issue saying it’s not going to be ‘fixed’:

Am I the only one having this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can make this go away?

    There are references to path.exists in the coffeescript source code.

    Note that that in node 0.6 (the current stable version) fs.exists is null so it’s difficult to cleanly upgrade this.

    We have an issue where the same source code doesn’t work in both 0.6 and 0.7.

    I would assume that we wait for 0.8 and then someone will upgrade coffeescript to use fs.exists and deprecate 0.6 support
