Ticket #2075: Dev builds failing due to vinyl-fs

[zandercymatics]

Ticket

Resolves #2085

Changes

• Reverts to previous node version both locally and on deploy to sandboxes / stable / staging / development

Context for reviewers

Node version 22 breaks gulp. The hotfix for this will be pushed in 2-3 weeks, so in the meantime we can revert our node version.

Ensuring that we use the right version from within our yamls is more difficult than would otherwise be anticipated. It is more convoluted for that reason.

Setup

Code Review Verification Steps

As the original developer, I have

Satisfied acceptance criteria and met development standards

• Met the acceptance criteria, or will meet them in a subsequent PR
• Created/modified automated tests
• Added at least 2 developers as PR reviewers (only 1 will need to approve)
• Messaged on Slack or in standup to notify the team that a PR is ready for review
• Changes to “how we do things” are documented in READMEs and or onboarding guide
• If any model was updated to modify/add/delete columns, makemigrations was ran and the associated migrations file has been commited.

Ensured code standards are met (Original Developer)

• All new functions and methods are commented using plain language
• Did dependency updates in Pipfile also get changed in requirements.txt?
• Interactions with external systems are wrapped in try/except
• Error handling exists for unusual or missing values

Validated user-facing changes (if applicable)

• New pages have been added to .pa11yci file so that they will be tested with our automated accessibility testing
• Checked keyboard navigability
• Tested general usability, landmarks, page header structure, and links with a screen reader (such as Voiceover or ANDI)
• Add at least 1 designer as PR reviewer

As a code reviewer, I have

Reviewed, tested, and left feedback about the changes

• Pulled this branch locally and tested it
• Reviewed this code and left comments
• Checked that all code is adequately covered by tests
• Made it clear which comments need to be addressed before this work is merged
• If any model was updated to modify/add/delete columns, makemigrations was ran and the associated migrations file has been commited.

Ensured code standards are met (Code reviewer)

• All new functions and methods are commented using plain language
• Interactions with external systems are wrapped in try/except
• Error handling exists for unusual or missing values
• (Rarely needed) Did dependency updates in Pipfile also get changed in requirements.txt?

Validated user-facing changes as a developer

• New pages have been added to .pa11yci file so that they will be tested with our automated accessibility testing

• Checked keyboard navigability

• Meets all designs and user flows provided by design/product

• Tested general usability, landmarks, page header structure, and links with a screen reader (such as Voiceover or ANDI)

• Tested with multiple browsers, the suggestion is to use ones that the developer didn't (check off which ones were used)

  • Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • FireFox
  • Safari

• (Rarely needed) Tested as both an analyst and applicant user

Note: Multiple code reviewers can share the checklists above, a second reviewers should not make a duplicate checklist

As a designer reviewer, I have

Verified that the changes match the design intention

• Checked that the design translated visually
• Checked behavior
• Checked different states (empty, one, some, error)
• Checked for landmarks, page heading structure, and links
• Tried to break the intended flow

While this hurts my eyes, it is sadly the only way I found that we can reliably change npm versions from within our docker containers. I have tried multiple alternatives. If you dare venture down that path - log it here

All built in tooling does not work from the right context. For instance, docker compose npm install node@(version) surprisingly is non-functional and gets overwritten by the time we want to use it

Agreed it's not pretty, but if it works for now I think there is no point in us spending time to make it snazzier. I'm good with this.
