Node upgrade / deprecation warnings

[alecglen]

Getting these in the action summary:

I am meeting this too. I see that the last commit in this repo is in Aug 2021. Is this action still maintained?

[aslak01]

I'm also seeing these warnings. Hope it'll be resolve. Node LTS is already on v18 👀

[skhalaf21]

Any word on this? are there any plans to patch this action so it does not throw this Node 12 warning and eventually stop working?

@idan , @Wattenberger , @mattrothenberg , Bueller...

[NargiT]

any news ?

[aslak01]

My project no longer runs as of today due to node 12 depreciation. Anyone know of an alternative to this or willing to make a fork?

Edit on closer inspection it appears to be a problem with the deno package repo, but summer of depreciation is coming quite fast.

Very frustrating abandonment and lack of communication here; it really makes me distrustful of other Github Next initiatives...

@aslak01 Personally I switched to using an Azure data factory a while ago. I'm not a Node guy, but it might not be much work to roll my Python into an action with similar functionality. I can take a swing at it sometime in the next month if there's interest?

[mattrothenberg]

@alecglen @aslak01 I totally hear your frustration. Sincere apologies for the delay on this front.

I have a PR open that should hopefully fix this issue: #86.

I'm by no means an actions expert, so can you try giving this PR a test by pinning the version of the action in your repo to githubocto/flat@mr/node16 and letting me know if it works?

@mattrothenberg

Hi, thanks for your work on this. I have switched to using the action you suggested today. It fixes the issue reported here and also works fine for my use case. I 'll let it run (it runs on a schedule) for a couple of weeks and report back here.

[mattrothenberg]

This should hopefully be fixed in https://github.com/githubocto/flat/releases/tag/3.4.0 🤞

[alecglen]

Much appreciated, @mattrothenberg!

I think this is working for me too, but there's something I'm missing. Hopefully the gang assembled here can help make it make sense?

I haven't updated my my flat.yaml since the release, but I checked just now and the deprecation warnings are indeed gone as of a couple weeks ago. I'm confused because from what I can tell in the action logs, it's still running with an older version (3.3.1 based on the SHA).

...
Download action repository 'githubocto/flat@v3' (SHA:fc34373cc20b987e89d75d96435a9fecd8fb0807)
...

However, the warnings are definitely gone, so I'm not sure what to believe 🤷 . Is there anything I need to do explicitly in the yaml to make sure I'm on the new release?

[mattrothenberg]

@alecglen That sounds weird! Are you able to link to the particular action run where you're seeing that?

[alecglen]

Yeah I can ...it's just in a private repo that isn't actually top-secret haha. Just sent you a collaborator invite so you can view it.
