Support for NodeJS LTS 20

[jonesbusy (Valentin Delaye)]

Hi,

NodeJS 20 is now officially an LTS version : Download | Node.js

What is the plan to support it officially for SonarQube ?

Right now on 9.9.2.77730 enterprise

It’s raising warning issues

Can we expect “support” soon, even ported on next LTS fix ?

Thanks!

Hey there.

Since NodeJS 20 became an LTS long after SonarQube v9.9 LTS was released, we don’t expect to go back and declare compatibility. That said, we don’t expect any issues using NodeJS 20. But we haven’t tested it.

Starting from the next version of SonarQube (v10.3) the NodeJS distribution used by analysis will be embedded with SonarQube, so there will be no more need to handle this (or deal with these warnings).

If you use NodeJS 20, you can also point sonar.nodejs.executable to a different version (16 or 18) to avoid this warning (docs)

One more reason to update when it’s released
