The Provider option "providerOptions.${deprecated}" is no lo

Error message

The Provider option "providerOptions.${deprecated}" is no longer supported. Please use the option "${deprecatedOptions[deprecated]}" instead.

What it means

Companion renamed its provider options: top-level providerOptions.microsoft/google/s3 were restructured into providerOptions.onedrive/providerOptions.drive and an s3 section. Using the old names triggers this startup error with the suggested replacement.

Solutions

  1. Rename providerOptions.microsoft to providerOptions.onedrive
  2. Rename providerOptions.google to providerOptions.drive
  3. Move s3 options to the new top-level s3 config section as indicated by the message

Example fix

providerOptions: { microsoft: { credentials: {...} } }

// after
providerOptions: { onedrive: { credentials: {...} } }
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const OLD = { microsoft: 'onedrive', google: 'drive' }
for (const [oldK, newK] of Object.entries(OLD)) {
  if (providerOptions[oldK]) { providerOptions[newK] = providerOptions[oldK]; delete providerOptions[oldK] }
}

Type guard

null

Try / catch

null

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Passing companionOptions like { providerOptions: { microsoft: {...} } } or { google: {...} } / { s3: {...} } in the old shape.

Common situations: Upgrading Companion from an older major version without migrating config; following outdated documentation or blog posts.
