querystring (introduced through URL) is obsolete

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

While installing cypress 9.0.0, a warning shows up indicating querystring is no longer used.

Debug logs

npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated querystring@0.2.0: The querystring API is considered Legacy. new code should use the URLSearchParams API instead.

Cypress Version

9.0.0

Package Manager

npm

Operating system

Linux

Other

This is the dependency tree:

└─┬ cypress@9.0.0
  └─┬ url@0.11.0
    └── querystring@0.2.0

url seems also in the brink of obsolescence, having been released 6 years ago.

Maybe we can change usage of url to querystringify since it’s not depracated and does similar thing?

@jennifer-shehane Realistically I think it’s an issue external to Cypress so nothing more than that. But the details are:

When tests are run as part of our Appveyor build via a powershell build script the warnings are interpreted as breaking errors

The running command stopped because the preference variable “ErrorActionPreference” or common parameter is set to Stop: npm WARN deprecated querystring@0.2.0: The querystring API is considered Legacy. new code should use the URLSearchParams API instead.

I changed the ErrorActionPreference and strictly they are warnings so it shouldn’t be stopping probably but in any case would be helpful to get these warnings removed.
