Add support for Node 20

[joshlang]

Hello there 👋 ,

Now that Node 20 is LTS (https://nodejs.org/en/), can we add support for Node 20 as a supported runtime on CodeBuild?

Thanks heaps.

#580

[joshlang]

Just gettin' a headstart so maybe it'll be ready when LTS is ready (October?), rather than waiting an extra year

• Add support for Node 18 #580 (comment)

As per the above comments, the following command worked in my environment using aws/codebuild/standard:7.0.

phases:
  install:
    runtime-versions:
      nodejs: 18
    commands:
      - n 20

It would be really great to get Node 20 support. These long release windows from AWS really causes issues for us when it comes to maintenance.

+1 it would be good to be able to start working with v20. Otherwise, it is not very convenient to use CodeBuild.

+1 Our team would appreciate very much to get Node 20 support 🌞

Hopefully by December 2023?

Hello guys, any help needed to proceed for Node 20 images, ready to help afternoons and on weekends

[pablomayobre]

20 LTS is a thing starting today, good luck AWS team

I'd love to see this happen well before AWS stops supporting node 16 because porting over an entire codebase is tedious enough that I'd love to jump straight to 20 instead of using 18 for 1 month as a stop-gap.

public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:20 is now available as a pre release image

👍 can someone process this pull request, it will be really helpful for my team as we are upgrading our systems to node 20.

+1 on this. Ideally I would hope to see new Ubuntu / Amazon Linux images being released at the same time as Lambda support for new Node versions.

Isn't this complete? https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/node-js-20-x-runtime-now-available-in-aws-lambda/

Yes, Node 20 support for Lambda is out in the wild. I just checked the Lambda console and it's listed as an available runtime (it's the default if you click 'Create Function')

[joshlang]

They've completed an image which supports AWS 20

It is available for LAMBDA users

It is not yet available for CODEBUILD users

So, you can try using the n 20 command if you just want node 20... but if you want your build image to be the same as your execution image, then you're still stuck waiting for codebuild to support the image.

Codebuild: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/available-runtimes.html
Lambda: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html

We used the n workaround for Node 18 while we waited for CodeBuild support and it was annoyingly flakey - we'd see builds time out attempting to download the node binaries every couple of days. I'd definitely advocate waiting for proper support if you can.

[Dylan-AWS]

CodeBuild released Node 20 in the AL:5.0 image and Ubuntu 7.0 (#689).

[perrin4869]

What about support for the arm images?

[wilhen01]

Yep, seconded on ARM images. I'll raise a new issue...

I learned today that you can use n 20 --offline and it will use the cached version already on the image, and not go fetch the latest on the internet. This should fix flakey behaviour.

[wilhen01]

That's a good trick @mbp - thanks! I think I'm happy to wait for "proper" Node 20 support but always useful to know the workarounds 😊

Why are comments suddenly getting deleted? @aws

[shellscape]

They're deleting replies that are critical of the delay in adding Node 20 support.

[aclark4life]

n 20 saved me! Thanks all for this thread.

[Dylan-AWS]

CodeBuild released Node20 for ARM (#697)

[shellscape]

@Dylan-AWS what of x86_64?

[subinataws]

Node 20 is supported in x86_64 Linux images: Amazon Linux, Ubuntu version. This was added in a prior release.

[peter-at-work]

node 20 has been supported for a while. But can we have node 20 instead of node 18 as the default

aws-codebuild-docker-images/ubuntu/standard/7.0/Dockerfile

Line 482 in 2f7c470

RUN n $NODE_18_VERSION

so that runs that request node 20 would save about a minute not having to n 20 switch from node 18 to node 20?

Considering that node 20 is ACTIVE and node 18 is MAINTENANCE at this time https://github.com/nodejs/Release
