.github/workflows/ci.yml produces multiple deprecations

[MikeMcC399]

Following the instructions on https://cypress-workshop-ci.netlify.app/?p=generic-ci#/2 produces multiple deprecations.

The instructions are applied to a fork of cypress-io/cypress-workshop-ci-example.

Instructions

The instructions say:

Create new file .github/workflows/ci.yml and paste the following

name: ci
on: [push]
jobs:
  build-and-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout 🛎
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Install dependencies 📦
        run: npm ci

      - name: Build the app 🏗
        run: npm run build

      - name: Start the app 📤
        run: npm start &

      - name: Run Cypress tests 🧪
        run: npm run cy:run

Results

1. Cypress is configured to use the legacy version 6.7.1 in package.json
2. package-lock.json is configured for "lockfileVersion": 1 used by npm v5 and v6. Node.js 14 was the last version with npm v6 bundled and it has been in end-of-life status since Apr 30, 2023. GitHub-hosted runners currently use Node.js 18 LTS as default.

   npm WARN old lockfile
   npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm,
   npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry.
   npm WARN old lockfile
   npm WARN old lockfile This is a one-time fix-up, please be patient...
   npm WARN old lockfile
   

3. actions/checkout@v2 causes

Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/checkout@v2. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/

The following actions uses node12 which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node16: actions/checkout@v2. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-13-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node16-instead-of-node12-by-default/
