Incompatible version of node in latest GitHub ubuntu 20.04 image

[fcollonval]

In https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/pull/4395/files, NodeJS 16 has been added to the ubuntu image. I think this is the reason we are hitting that error in our CI although we are using the GitHub actions to use NodeJS 14. Is there a workaround? Or do we need to wait for iterative/cml#825?

failing due to an update of NodeJS in the ubuntu image that is incompatible with CML action (to publish the benchmark image).

Error: The module '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@dvcorg/cml/node_modules/mmmagic/build/Release/magic.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83.

-- jupyterlab/jupyterlab#11606

93 corresponds to node 16. We could also bump to that version in the benchmarks CI workflow?

The trouble is the cml installation that does not apparently use the specified version of node JS but rather one it finds on the os. As GitHub recently added nodejs 16 to the Ubuntu 20.04 image, that breaks CML. This is not related to our code. I opened an issue upstream. No answer yet

Other relevant info to the above issues:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: '14.x'
      - uses: iterative/setup-cml@v1
      - env:
          REPO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: cml-publish ./benchmark-results/lab-benchmark.png --md >> ./benchmark-results/lab-benchmark.md

Note that setup-cml itself just uses npm found on $PATH to install things:

setup-cml/src/utils.js

Line 37 in a7b00a8

`${sudoPath} npm install -g canvas@2 vega@5 vega-cli@5 vega-lite@4 @dvcorg/cml${

Unsure of how best to go about fixing this.

• Seems to be a bug in actions/setup-node itself?
• Unrelated (though would work) how about dropping EoL NodeJSv14 and upgrading to the active v16 as suggested in Benchmark tests broken following update of NodeJS in ubuntu image jupyterlab/jupyterlab#11607 (comment)?
• Also probably unrelated but noticed we have

  setup-cml/action.yml

  Line 14 in a7b00a8

  using: node12

  which could be changed to 'node16'

Apparently, setup-node@v2 install the requested node version at the user level, not at the system level.

On the other hand, setup-cml@v1 uses sudo by default for the installation process, causing mmmagic to build against the default node version, as opposed to the specified one.

Subsequent workflow steps will try to run cml with the specified node version, but resorting to the native modules built for the default version.

@fcollonval should be fixed now!

Thanks a lot @0x2b3bfa0 and @casperdcl for fixing this.
