Update LTS to Node 22

[PaulACoroneos]

Hi there.As of this week Node 22 is now the active LTS (22.10.0 as of this issue). However with today's release we are still releasing against Node 20. Can we consider updating the env file to reference the new LTS? More than happy to open a PR for this. Thank you!

Thanks for your initiative to keep the repo up to date!

Node.js 22.x does not however plan to move to Active LTS status until Oct 29, 2024 and we're not quite there yet. Check the Release Schedule.

Release schedule

Release	Status	Codename	Initial Release	Active LTS Start	Maintenance Start	End-of-life
20.x	Maintenance	Iron	2023-04-18	2023-10-24	2024-10-22	2026-04-30
22.x	Current		2024-04-24	2024-10-29	2025-10-21	2027-04-30

The blog post Node v22.10.0 (Current) shows its status as Current not LTS.

If you want to build a Cypress Docker image based on Node.js v22.10.0 right now, you can do this using the cypress/factory process.

We need to wait until the official announcement from the Node.js team.

I'm going to close this issue as premature. I'm keeping an eye out for the status change in any case and plan to submit a PR when the time is ripe!

My fault I misread the table. It seems there's a small overlap between active going off and LTS starting. Thanks for your feedback.

No problem. The download page confirms the current status for 22.x:

• We fixed an issue Node.js 22.10.0 - Can't check signature: No public key #1234 yesterday in preparation for the status change, so you can be assured that an update will be done as soon as everything else is ready!

Also I expect there will be a new 22.x version released with the label LTS.

That is what happened for v20.9.0 when it was announced as LTS.

See Node v22 for open release-related PRs from the Node.js organization.
