Getting deprecation warning when running vscode extension updates

[dannysteenman]

Erroneous Behavior

Running Visual Studio Code extensions updates causes the following warning:

── 08:46:18 - Visual Studio Code extensions ────────────────────────────────────
Updating extensions: ms-python.vscode-pylance
(node:26728) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
(Use `Electron --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
Extension 'ms-python.vscode-pylance' v2024.2.3 was successfully updated.

Expected Behavior

No warning messages during updates

Steps to reproduce

Have an outdated vscode extension and then run the topgrade command

Possible Cause (Optional)

It's using an old method of buffer which is deprecated: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52165333/deprecationwarning-buffer-is-deprecated-due-to-security-and-usability-issues

Can you reproduce this with:

$ code --update-extensions

Can you reproduce this with:

$ code --update-extensions

All my extensions are up to date so I cannot reproduce it at the moment. However I looked into it further and it seems like a vscode issue: microsoft/vscode#82524

[SteveLauC]

Yeah, I think this is an issue of VSCode rather than Topgrade, Topgrade is simply a wrapper that tries to execute code --update-extensions

[dannysteenman]

yeah I thought so, let's close this issue. thanks for the quick response!
