I was able to resolve this by using npm update command on my express app.

Problem is with bodyParser module, this issue is fixed in latest versions of node. npm update command helped to resolve this issue.

Here is the output after npm update and server restart.

connect deprecated multipart: use parser (multiparty, busboy, formidable) npm module instead at node_modules\connect\lib\middleware\bodyParser.js:56:20

connect deprecated limit: Restrict request size at location of read at node_modules\connect\lib\middleware\multipart.js:86:15

connect deprecated methodOverride: use method-override npm module instead at app.js:24:17

Hope this helps to other users facing the same error.

For me it was the issue coming due to the older version of Koa Better Body(koa-better-body) package. I upgraded it from 1.0.17 to 3.3.9 and then it was working fine.

Node Version : 10.19.0

NPM : 6.13.4

Framework : Koa 2
