Solve issues for Node.js CITGM

[UlisesGascon]

Hi team! I was researching a bit about the current issues with CITGM, there is a PR nodejs/citgm#977 open to re-add express, but one of the tests is failling.

How to reproduce?

1. Use Node 20.x (recommended 20.11.x) nvm use 20.11.0
2. Install cigtm globally npm i -g citgm
3. Run the tests for express citgm express

What is the error?

I was not able to reproduce this error while running the tests locally from a express clone, but after doing a bit of research seems like it is related to expressjs/body-parser@368a93a ?

As a side note, I will update the CI to include the most recent Node.js versions:

• Add support Node.js@21 in the CI #5430
• Add support Node.js@20 in the CI #5429
• Update support Node.js@18 in the CI  #5490

[dougwilson]

Yes, I fixed that a long time ago, also in this repo too, which is probably why you cannot reproduce it while running tests locally from clone?

[UlisesGascon]

Great point @dougwilson. Now I am thinking that maybe is because CITGM is using 4.18.2 and the patch in body-parser@1.20.2 is not yet released within express? 🤔

unreleased
==========

  * Fix routing requests without method
  * deps: body-parser@1.20.2
    - Fix strict json error message on Node.js 19+

[dougwilson]

Oh, interesting. I guess that is true, if citgm uses published vereion it wouldn't be there. I was confused bc I saw the log saying downloading from github.com. I guess we can queue up a parch release quickly to make it available to citgm, without going through the minor release timeline.

[UlisesGascon]

Yeah, a patch release sounds great 👍

[UlisesGascon]

Curent status

We are just waiting for this PR to be merged, the CI is passing 🥳

[UlisesGascon]

This is officially completed! Express.js is back to the CITGM! 🎉
