Bug Summary

When opening the Browsers debug panel in Ascender, we are receiving the following warning:

Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of FindRefWrapper which is inside StrictMode. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference. Learn more about using refs safely here: https://reactjs.org/link/strict-mode-find-node
This is a cookie configuration issue that needs to be resolved.

Ya, the issue is that we don't directly utilize findDOMNode, it is instead used by a lot of the npm dependencies we pull in. So we will have to test upgrading things were possible to remove older libraries using it.

Just for reference, the exact code causing this warning is
https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-react/blob/%40patternfly/react-core%404.278.1/packages/react-core/src/helpers/Popper/FindRefWrapper.tsx#L21

[cigamit]

Probably best if we just fork patternfly at the required version and fix the error ourselves versus upgrading, as upgrading requires a few bucket loads of changes.

[TheWitness]

Interesting, not a good practice to throw and error unless it's a mandatory attribute.

[cigamit]

Its just a deprecation warning, but yes.
