Node v14 Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'VERSION'

[PaulRBerg]

I am shipping prettier-plugin-solidity with my solidity-template. When using the template with node v14 and above, I am getting these warnings:

You can reproduce this by cloning my template, switching to commit b70050d and running NODE_OPTIONS="--trace-warnings" yarn run test.

I am not sure what is the solution for this. Related:

oh, interesting. thanks for reporting this issue @PaulRBerg. We'll take a look

[mattiaerre]

it may be something related to istanbul? gotwarlost/istanbul#940 // cc @fvictorio @Janther @PaulRBerg

[fvictorio]

This was fixed in the parser a while ago, it shouldn't keep happening :/ @PaulRBerg can you trade upgrading the dependency and check again?

[PaulRBerg]

I upgraded, but the warning didn't go away. Looks like solidity-coverage has the same problem.

Anyways, I'm closing this issue.
