Request to publish Node.js 24.x image

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Publish a set of Cypress images based on the upcoming Node.js 24 release soon after this version is released:

• cypress/base
• cypress/browsers
• cypress/included

Why is this needed?

• Test Cypress compatibility with Node.js 24 cypress#31581 plans and requires to test Cypress against Node.js 24.

• According to https://github.com/nodejs/Release the initial release of Node.js v24.0.0 was planned for April 22, 2025. The release is however delayed due to outstanding issues updating Chromium V8 to 13.6 within Node.js 24. No new target release date for Node.js 24 has been communicated at this time.
  Edit: https://github.com/nodejs/Release now displays 2025-05-06 for the projected release of Node.js 24.

Next steps

• Wait for the release of Node.js 24.0.0
• Create a feature branch depending on the current version of Cypress at the time of Node.js 24 release, for instance 14.3.2-node-24.0.0-publish
• Submit a PR based on the CONTRIBUTING > Alternate versions to build and publish the corresponding images

I'm happy to monitor and progress this issue together with the Cypress.io team, who in any case will be needed to create a feature branch.

It looks like Node.js 24 will be delayed a couple of weeks. Any official new plans should be shown in the https://github.com/nodejs/Release repo.

Node.js is now targeting May 6, 2025 for release of Node.js 24

Are you planning to release a new version of Cypress today or tomorrow? If yes, then I suggest to add Node.js on to the next version of Cypress. If not, then a set of Cypress Docker images based on Node.js 24.0.0 could be built today, using Cypress 14.3.2 for the cypress/included image.

@MikeMcC399 we are planning on doing a release today. What exactly do you mean by adding Node.js to the next version of Cypress? Or do you mean for the factory updates so we publish those images on the latest Cypress?

Thanks for giving me the release schedule! and sorry for the unclear description.

Assuming that the version to be released today is going to be 14.3.3 then please create a feature branch

14.3.3-node-24.0.0-publish

and I will submit a PR targeting that branch.

By "...adding Node.js to the next version of Cypress" I just meant bumping the Node.js version in factory/.env to 24.0.0 with the Cypress version set to 14.3.3 (currently planned next version).

@MikeMcC399 just created the branch https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/tree/14.3.3-node-24.0.0-publish

Did we want to do the current node version here? I would think we would want to keep the checked in version as 22.15.0 as it is the LTS.

Thanks!

It's the alternate node strategy we've use before - see https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#alternate-versions . This leaves the LTS Docker images untouched, and the latest labels still point to them.

I'll check in again here after the 14.3.3 release! I hope it will become clearer when I create the PR!

Makes sense!

I have 14.3.3 set on the dev tag on npm if you want to go ahead an create a PR!
