protractornpm reports that protractor is deprecated by its maintainers. That flag is the strongest signal a registry gives: the people who publish it are telling you to stop using it. Their own note reads: "We have news to share - Protractor is deprecated and will reach end-of-life by Summer 2023. To learn more and find out about other options please refer to this post on the Angular blog. Thank you for using and contributing to Protractor. https://goo.gle/state-of-e2e-in-angular" If that note names a replacement, that is your migration target. Pin your current version so nothing shifts under you, then plan the move on your own schedule rather than waiting for a build to break.
Deprely watches npm deprecation flags and published API sunset notices, then emails your team one short heads-up — before a build breaks. No dashboard to check.
First alerts planned for autumn 2026. One email when we open — no spam.
