Installation deprecations caused by netlify-plugin-cypress

[MikeMcC399]

Current situation

README instructs to install dependencies using:

npm install

Two deprecation warnings are output:

npm WARN deprecated debug@4.1.1: Debug versions >=3.2.0 <3.2.7 || >=4 <4.3.1 have a low-severity ReDos regression when used in a Node.js environment. It is recommended you upgrade to 3.2.7 or 4.3.1. (https://github.com/visionmedia/debug/issues/797)
npm WARN deprecated puppeteer@18.1.0: < 21.5.0 is no longer supported

Environment: Node.js 18.17.0 & ~~20.10.0~~ 20.11.0

Desired situation

There should be no deprecation warnings output when npm install is executed.

Comments

The deprecation warnings come from netlify-plugin-cypress@2.2.1 which uses:

• debug@4.1.1 and
• puppeteer@18.1.0

This is an open issue in cypress-io/netlify-plugin-cypress:

• npm WARN deprecated puppeteer@18.1.0 is no longer supported netlify-plugin-cypress#336

[MikeMcC399]

• The last release of the cypress-io/netlify-plugin-cypress was netlify-plugin-cypress@2.2.1 released almost exactly one year ago on Feb 23, 2023. The deprecation issue npm WARN deprecated puppeteer@18.1.0 is no longer supported netlify-plugin-cypress#336 remains unaddressed.

Suggestion

Remove the netlify-plugin-cypress example from this repository, since it continues to cause deprecation messages and there is no published plan to update the plugin.
