getting warning while running protractor-conf.js file:" Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues"

Question

I am using protractor-cucumber framework. But while running it it gives me warning " Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead."

node version: v10.15.3

npm version: 6.4.1

{
   "dependencies": {
                     "chai": "4.1.2",
                     "cucumber": "4.2.1",
                     "protractor": "^5.4.2",
                     "protractor-cucumber-framework": "4.2.0"
                   }
}

It'd be helpful if you can provide the full error message as the message typically contains a deprecation id and other useful information. Most likely the issue is about how a Buffer object is created in your code or in one of the dependencies. Btw, I think your question is a duplicate.

                     "cucumber": "5.1.0",
                     "protractor": "^5.4.2",
                     "protractor-cucumber-framework": "6.1.1"
                   }
}

Hope it helps you
