Upgrade to Node20

[lure8225]

Is there any timeline for an update to Node 20 as Node 16 is out of support since September 11th? https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol

Thanks

Thank you for opening this issue.

@joshspicer do we have any known reasons to keep the image pinned to Node 16?

No known blockers :)

@lure8225 thanks again for opening this issue. I am afraid we have capacity to tackle it in the short term. Would you be willing to contribute a PR (from a fork) to upgrade Node? We are more than happy to support with the review on your contribution.

Thanks for the quick reactions, sadly it might take some time until I can properly contribute (company politics/processes). If there are no known issues the change would be just to change the 16 to a 20 here: https://github.com/devcontainers/action/blob/5002ae5962899e0fd372f7affde2c3e176372682/action.yml#L78

However there might be some things as you build the actual action from typescript that I'm not aware of as I have not looked into the build process of the action yet.

And most likely tag/release a new version (which I can't do anyway).

Should be close since it has been resolved by #207

In the meantime, GitHub moved on already:

The following actions uses Node.js version which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node20: actions/checkout@v3. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/
