Overview
Mocha has a devDependency right now on a 5-year-old version of nyc:
Line 162 in b2985b3
This isn't a problem on its own. nyc@15 works as-is. But it pulls in old dependencies that bloat our local node_modules size. For example, in #5482, we see it pulling in supports-color@5 inside some older @babel/* packages:
└─┬ [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected]
└─┬ @babel/[email protected]
└─┬ @babel/[email protected]
├─┬ @babel/[email protected]
│ └─┬ [email protected]
│ └── [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected]
└── [email protected]
I think it'd be a good idea in general to bump it to the latest major version.
Additional Info
In theory it'd be nice to automatically upgrade all devDependencies. #5055 is blocked for now: #5055 (comment).
No relevant breaking changes, only minimum Node version now being 18: https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
