Self hosted runner: os.machine is not a function about action-doctl

[maitrungduc1410]

Found the issue, new version of action-doctl uses os.machine which is available from node 16.18, and my runner is running with old version of nodejs

So before setting up doctl I need to setup nodejs first, but it still doesnt' work:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: "lts/*" # "16.18.0" also doesn't work
- name: Install doctl
  uses: digitalocean/action-doctl@v2
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.MY_TOKEN }}

GitHub hosted runners currently come with Node.js 18.17.1 preinstalled.

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/linux/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#language-and-runtime

What version of Node is installed on your runners? Node v16 is the oldest currently supported release upstream. It will be reaching end of life in September.

We've released v2.4.1 which switches to using process over os for backwards compatibility.

thanks @andrewsomething for very quick action :).

Just to give you some more details about my case:

I have a VM and I'm running self hosted running using Docker for easy on scaling + I need to run docker build in runner

My Docker image is this: https://github.com/myoung34/docker-github-actions-runner

This is environment of my Docker container:

# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.5 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=focal
UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal
# node -v
v10.19.0

As you can see, default nodejs version of the container is v10.19.0, which is old.

I have a React app which requires node 16 for yarn install (otherwise it'll failed during install)

So I've setup like this:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: "16.18.0"
- run: yarn install

It works fine, but just from this morning I noticed all my production actions failed:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: "16.18.0"
- run: yarn install
- name: Install doctl
  uses: digitalocean/action-doctl@v2
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

It kept on showing os.machine is not a function. The thing is yarn install is able to pick up node v16 but seems it's not for action-doctl

btw, I just retried my actions, they're working fine now.

Thank you
