ci: update Cypress tests to Node.js 22.15.1

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

• PR update node version from 18 to 22 #6223 includes the text

  updates the node version in the repo to 22.15.1

Current CircleCI jobs are now running in two different Node.js environments 18.16.1 and 22.15.1

Job	image
build	docker.io/cimg/node:22.15.1
Run Algolia scraper	ubuntu-2204:2024.11.1 / docker.io/cimg/node:22.15.1
Lint JS/CSS/Markdown	docker.io/cimg/node:22.15.1
Install & Persist To Workspace	docker.io/cimg/node:18.16.1-browsers
Run Tests in Parallel	docker.io/cimg/node:18.16.1-browsers

It doesn't seem like this would have been the intention. Node.js 18.x is end-of-life and deprecated by Cypress. With the release of Cypress 15, this version of Node.js will transition into being unsupported by Cypress and the minimum Node.js will become version 20.

Assessment

The configuration .circleci/config.yml for the jobs:

• Install & Persist To Workspace
• Run Tests in Parallel

relies on executor: cypress/default taken from

cypress-documentation/.circleci/config.yml

Lines 3 to 4 in 3a428ac

	orbs:
	cypress: cypress-io/cypress@3

• The default Node.js version for cypress: cypress-io/cypress@3, equivalent to cypress-io/[email protected], is Node.js 18.16.1

• The default Node.js version for cypress: cypress-io/cypress@4, equivalent to cypress-io/[email protected], is Node.js 22.15.0

Change

In the configuration .circleci/config.yml:

• update the Cypress CircleCI Orb from cypress: cypress-io/cypress@3 to cypress: cypress-io/cypress@4 (current latest)

and in the jobs "Install & Persist To Workspace" and "Run Tests in Parallel"

• specify the node-version parameter, set to 22.15.1, to use exactly this version that is being used in the other jobs already

although there is still a strange section referring to audio hardware:

This looks like it would belong to the class of "garbage errors". In any case the pipeline succeeds, despite these errors, which is also a typical experience for a "garbage error".

@AtofStryker

Please review! I'm guessing that you intended to have everything running in Node.js 22.x and that you overlooked cypress/default because it was used without a specific node-version parameter.

I just happened to notice this all because I submitted a text update to the site and I wondered why the Cypress tests were still being run in Node.js 18.x.

At some stage probably Cypress ought to be updated from its current 13.15.0 version. Docusaurus is also a bit behind the times (Update available 3.1.1 → 3.8.1).

Thanks @MikeMcC399. I overlooked the cypress node version being run here. eventually we do need to do some dependency updating here
