gcloud deploy says my I'm using an old version of node

[alfa_zulu]

I'm attempting to deploy my first Google Cloud application.

It happens to be a Node.js application, and when I run "gcloud app deploy" I get the following error:

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) INVALID_ARGUMENT: Error(s) encountered validating runtime. Your runtime version for nodejs22 is past End of Support. Please upgrade to the latest runtime version available..

 This is what my app.yaml looks like:

runtime: nodejs22
env: flex

The problem is nodejs22 is indeed the latest version of Node.js.

Hello @alfa_zulu  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Did you've maybe updated package.json as well as app.yaml? https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/nodejs/runtime#nodejs_version

{
  "engines": {
    "node": ">16.0.0"
  }
}

I already tried modifying package.json and unfortunately it didn't work.

I did have success by changing "env" from "flex" to "standard" in "app.yaml" like so...

runtime: nodejs20
env: standard

I'm not at all clear why this fixed the issue.

Maybe standard have runtime version limitation ? Have no idea. But good, that you've solved issue 🙂

I am still not able to deploy my nodejs app using.

I am using :

runtime: nodejs22

env: flex

Also tried to use:

runtime: nodejs22

env: standard

Keep getting same errors: 

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) INVALID_ARGUMENT: Error(s) encountered validating runtime. Your runtime version for nodejs22 is past End of Support. Please upgrade to the latest runtime version available..

Can some help me on this?

I am facing the same issue

runtime: nodejs20

env: flex

handlers:

- url: /.*

script: auto

resources:

cpu: 2

memory_gb: 4.6

disk_size_gb: 10

network:

name: default

I had the same error during these days and I got it solved with this configuration:

runtime: nodejs

env: flex

runtime_config:
  operating_system: "ubuntu22"
  runtime_version: "20"

manual_scaling:
  instances: 1

network:
  session_affinity: true

resources:
  cpu: 4
  memory_gb: 4


includes:
- extra_env_vars.yaml
entrypoint: yarn start:prod

The runtimeversion is the version of node

The 'network: session_affinity: true ' is for sockets.

The resources are important too because I tried with 2 and it gave me this error: Timed out waiting for the flex deployment to become network provisioned.


Also I was deploying with github actions and if i'm not wrong I had to add these too:

 - name: "Set up Cloud SDK"
        uses: "google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v2"
        with:
          version: '>= 420.0.0'

Here is the documentation where it talks about the version 420.0.0 for Node.js https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/nodejs/runtime?hl=es-419

And finally I added to the GAE service account the roles : 

• Monitoring editor
• Logger writter (Escritor de registros in spanish)
  

Hope it helps
