The `add-path` command is deprecated and will be disabled on November 16th.

There is a deprecation in setup-node.

Error: The add-path command is deprecated and will be disabled on November 16th. Please upgrade to using Environment Files. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-github-actions-deprecating-set-env-and-add-path-commands/

Edit:

⚠️ The main branch of this repository includes a high-severity bug, and it should not be used. ⚠️
For setup-node only a patch has been applied to v1 and v2-beta versions of GitHub actions (not the main branch).

Apparently, Google gave GitHub 90 days to fix the problem. Read the full story:

Google to GitHub: Time's up – this unfixed 'high-severity' security bug affects developers

This is the same for my branch with X86 support (unfortunately I made that PR against main branch): #194.

Why don't you use the latest version? The latest version is v1.4.4

[aminya]

I am using my branch which supports x86 arch which is based on the main branch: https://github.com/aminya/setup-node

Hopefully, they merge #194 faster so I can use the official version.

For now, the following fixes the problem.

Can you provide your failing workflow @aminya ?

The latest version of v1 and v2-beta should be working, we patched them. Here's the workflow I used to test:

name: testnode
on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: ['windows-latest', 'ubuntu-latest', 'macos-latest']
    runs-on: ${{matrix.os}}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v2-beta
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v1

@thboop I am using the main branch (#194 which is based on main). I can't use the latest release because it does not support x86 architecture.

name: testnode
on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: ['windows-latest', 'ubuntu-latest', 'macos-latest']
    runs-on: ${{matrix.os}}
    steps:
      - uses: aminya/setup-node@x86  # or actions/setup-node@main

updating the version number from actions/setup-node@v1.4.2 to actions/setup-node@v1.4.4 fixed the issue for me 👍

we are running actions/setup-node@v2.1.0 which also contains the reported problem
