I got the same error when defining a specific node version to use with node-version. But it was able to download the same version when I used node-version-file.

node-version	node-version-file

Hi @sujanbasnet, thanks for the help!

How are you using the action exactly (it isn't visible in your screenshot)?
Are you using both node-version: '14.21.3' and node-version-file: '14.21.3' for example or just node-version-file: '14.21.3'?

Thanks!

Hi. I also have a similar error. This is my job:

build_macos_x64:
    name: macOS (x86_64)
    env:
      npm_config_arch: x64
    runs-on: macos-latest
    steps:
      
      - name: Checkout branch
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: 'main'
      
      - name: Setup NodeJS 
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 'lts/fermium' #Resolves to v14.21.3

Here is the screenshot of failing step:

Notice that npm_config_arch has a value set to x64 and it fails saying

"Error: Unable to find Node version 'v14.21.3' for platform darwin and architecture arm64."

Exactly @bilalbokharee , I've noticed the same thing, and the Github repo where it pulls the package from does not have node v14.21.3 for arm64:
https://github.com/actions/node-versions/releases?expanded=true&page=1&q=14.21.3

It looks like we'll either have to download/install the package from the node.js website or upgrade to a newer version of node.

[bilalbokharee]

Yeah I agree but the point is that I am not asking it to download for arm64. I want to download for x64, and this was working up until yesterday. Now it is automatically assuming the request is for arm64.

[yairlopez-aprende]

Yeah, that's because macos-latest is now macos-14 which uses arm64 architecture, if you use macos-12 it should work fine.

This is exactly my issue, but I need macos-latest(14) to use Xcode 15.

Downgrading to macos-12, which was macos-latest until this week should solve your issue.

[yairlopez-aprende]

I have found a simpler solution that seems to work ( haven't actually built my App yet), at least I am able to install Node.js v14 on macos-14.

Since the arm64 package isn't available I went ahead and set architecture: 'x64', it looks like it will work :)

build:
   runs-on: macos-14
   steps:

     - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
       with:
         node-version: '14.17.3'
         architecture: 'x64'

Thanks!

Welcome! I replaced node-version with node-version-file and provided the package.json.

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    # node-version: "18.8.2"
    node-version-file: "clients/web/storefront/package.json"
