Error and warning when using `init` command

[Hakier]

Hello!

Version 1.11.1 was the last version that run init command without warnings and errors.
In this version when called init command it printed to the console only two lines:

[29.11.2022, 16:29:41] - info: Creating file: /projects/learn/cypress-example-kitchensink/browserstack.json
[29.11.2022, 16:29:41] - info: BrowserStack Config File created, you can now run browserstack-cypress --config-file run

Since version 1.11.2 it prints also a Warning:

(node:157652) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Since version 1.14.0 it prints also a TypeError:

/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.1/lib/node_modules/browserstack-cypress-cli/bin/helpers/usageReporting.js:176
if(typeof bsConfig === 'object' && !utils.isUndefined(bsConfig.run_settings)) {
^

Tested on node: v12.22.12, v14.17.4, v18.12.1

BTW. Only one line differs in generated config (1.11.1 vs 1.19.1):

Hi there,

Cypress CLI version 1.19.1 is the newer one, which has all the bug fixes and more stability compared to older versions.

By the way I could not understand your exact issue, I would suggest you to please raise support ticket.

Hi, thanks for the reply but Cypress CLI version 1.19.1 has the same issues (which is the reason I created this thread). Here is an output from browserstack-cypress init:
