This is really annoying, it becomes the first thing I see when open vscode.

Also driving me crazy. Looks like its coming from here:

vscode-ansible/src/azureHelpers.ts

Line 36 in 2610005

headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(postData) }

Changing the Buffer call to Buffer.alloc() / Buffer.allocUnsafe() / Buffer.from() might work to squash the error.
