@callmehiphop we’ve rolled back to 0.29.0. Just wanted to make sure you guys were aware that the grpc-js library change affected the pubsub client too. But I guess you’re on it. Thanks!

Hi @mahaben,

This error comes from Node.js http2 stack (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/28632) and we don’t have any solution at this moment, but we made sure we only print a warning and not an error. Make sure you update your dependencies.

npm ls @grpc/grpc-js

Starting from @grpc/grpc-js v0.5.2 this error is changed to warning so it should not crash your code.

We keep trying to catch and debug it, but since it’s something happening in Node.js core, it might take more time.
