NodeJS 404 on Bazel mirror (node-v14.15.3-linux-x64.tar.xz)

[achew22]

🐞 bug report

Affected Rule

load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:index.bzl", "node_repositories", "yarn_install")

node_repositories(
    node_version = "14.15.3",
    yarn_version = "1.22.4",
)

Is this a regression?

Not sure. Since this is a non-fatal error, I don't know if it's new since we upgraded about 20 days ago. It has been in all the CI runs that I'm checked in our run history.

Description

A clear and concise description of the problem...

It's possible that I just noticed this (it's a warning after all) now and that it's successfully falling back to an alternative download. I hypothesize that the rules_nodejs releaser doesn't upload all the node versions to gcs for mirroring. If that's the case then it might be worth noting that the selected version of nodejs by the caller is not one that is mirrored on GCS and removing it from the alternative download list.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

WORKSPACE:

http_archive(
    name = "build_bazel_rules_nodejs",
    sha256 = "6142e9586162b179fdd570a55e50d1332e7d9c030efd853453438d607569721d",
    urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/download/3.0.0/rules_nodejs-3.0.0.tar.gz"],
)

# Check the bazel version and download npm dependencies
load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:index.bzl", "node_repositories", "yarn_install")

node_repositories(
    node_version = "14.15.3",
    yarn_version = "1.22.4",
)

Anything else relevant?

Nope. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the report, we'll have to find someone from Google that has access to updating the mirror, as I assume it's controlled by them still.

@alexeagle do you know who would be a contact point here?

We discussed this today in the sync meeting and we don't think it should be on Bazel or the Bazel team to mirror NodeJS releases.
We decided to change our default URLs to stop using mirror.bazel.build
