Node 16 deprecation

[kinano]

Node16 will be deprecated on 09/11/2023 (link).

Node 16 is used by the action at the moment according to the source code:

setup-node/action.yml

Lines 35 to 36 in 5e21ff4

	runs:
	using: 'node16'

Is there a plan to release a node version update soon?

Based on the announcement GitHub Actions: Transitioning from Node 16 to Node 20 the current version of this JavaScript Action v3.8.1 will cause node16 deprecation notices to be generated starting on October 23, 2023.

So apart from the fact the Node.js 16 is already in end-of-life status, it will soon start to visibly affect GitHub Action workflows using actions/setup-node if no steps are taken to provide an updated release running on node20.

Please release a new version supporting node20 as requested by @kinano!

Hello @dusan-trickovic

Thank you very much for your input, we are looking into this :)

Do you have any result from looking at the issue? Have you got plans to implement now?

Deprecation notices are supposed to start being displayed today.

• This issue is (mostly) resolved through PR Change node version for action to node20 #866 and release of actions/setup-node@v4.0.0

Hello everyone. The new version with support of node20 was released in v4.0.0. For now I'm going to close the issue.

You need to change actions/setup-node@v3 to actions/setup-node@v4 in your workflow.
