Build Image Beta Testing
Hey @Pages developers, many of you requested support for node 18+, and pages team is getting ready to get some users to test the updated build image. We want to see a diverse set of projects — not just Node.js — and the more complex the better, if you're interested, please send your project's pages.dev url in the thread
256 Replies
It's best not to use on anything production. Opting out requires us to flick a switch internally. Please consider duping your prod project and opting in the non-prod version for testing!!
Should I pm you or send to here?
(Note this is not v2 but does allow for node 18 - v2 is still coming a little later down the line)
you can pm me if you don't want to share your url with other people

does the new image make 18 the default or just opt-in like it currently is?

Changing default is breaking change. This isn't v2

@larry.mac I've opted transformation.pages.dev into the image update
I understand that you recommend to not use in prod, but I would like to live on the edge.
https://mattsanetra.uk is my custom domain, blog-2ts.pages.dev otherwise. I'd love to try it out but I completely understand if not possibleenabled, please let me know if you have any issues/feedback

How can i get beta access to support for Node.js 18?
It didn't generated the
pages.dev domain since I am using gatsby v5 and the deployment is failing from the beginning.
Can I share the page ID? Will that work.
Finally found it codecarrot-net.pages.devVero quicker than me

That error is because youre trying to use node 18 on the current build image which doesnt support it - @veerooo can you enable their projects?

Hey, Skye. Thanks for pointing this out! I've pushed a fix. Mind trying again?
*Note! Your first few builds will take significantly longer than normal to initialize since this a brand new image that no one else uses. When this image goes stable, we won't have that issue. I really appreciate everyones help here 🙏 🧡 *
Hrmph. That was supposed to be a reply to the Python 3.7 message. Oh well. I've updated the image to fix the python3.7 issue cc @skye_31

What version of Ruby do you have in there and what error do you get when it tries to install it?
If it worked on the old image and doesnt on the new, that may not be intentional
the team will look into that. Ruby versions shouldn't have changed at all

@veerooo can you pass on those logs, definitely a bug
Sure
Passing
as far as
wondering if there's a way to say "just kidding, don't actually install Ruby"?I dont believe there is such functionality, since normally the build would work and the worst you would get is installing Ruby for no reason. the issue here is that it breaks when it shouldnt
Unknown User•15mo ago
Message Not Public

There is not
you can override the version by setting
RUBY_VERSION but you can't make it ignore it entirely and not install Ruby
this is a bug in the beta, so the options are wait for it to be fixed or request to be removed from the betaUnknown User•15mo ago

Thank you for helping us test the updated image!
Since my DM didn't seem to work, I'll just post my questions here. I just wanted to get the basics out of the way:
* Is your repo publicly available so I can look?
* Is Gatsby installed at the root of your project (rather than in a sub-package of a monorepo)?
* Is there anything non-standard about how you're installing Gatsby (maybe installing as a separate script rather than being expressed in package.json)

Do you have to manually specify 18, or will alias like
lts/* work?
And is this only 18 or will 19 (or node) work too?lts/* will work too
19 will work too
Node 20 next month should also work
Wow, just enabling 18 (used to run 16) reduced my build time (using qwik) by about 20 seconds without changing any code at all (besides the node version). Locally dev in wrangler I've been running node 18 the whole time (so I know it was compatible and no breaking changes would occur).

The OS is updated so newer versions of everything should be supported
Node is the big one but Zola also now isn't limited for example
Just reporting back having had this for a few days now - works brilliantly, builds are faster than ever (and they were pretty quick before!) Is there a good system for caching between builds to speed things up further?
Not yet. It's on our radar, though.

thank you very much
Ah very good. Try re-running the build. Should be all good on node 18. And if you express only the major version, i.e.
NODE_VERSION: 18, your build will be a little faster since it will just re-use the pre-installed node18.x.x. Saves ~5-10sOoo okay thanks

The logs that you see around initializing PHP/Go/Ruby etc. are a bit misleading. Most of those actions are noops
Those things are actually already installed but there's a script that checks to make sure the user hasn't asked for a specific version of one of those things
Fun fact, we're actively working on a major update to our builds and that sort of thing will go away soon

It won't be a choosable one this one (since it's just a slight update on the existing v1)
But the rollout will begin soon
v2 (which will have breaking changes) will be selectable and is also in the works, no eta on the private/public beta for that yet.

Congratulations on the release! 🎉 Will sites opted into V1 beta be automatically enrolled in V2 beta? Or will we need to come here again to sign up?
They're separate, I assume when the time comes for public v2 testing there will be a new thread or this thread will be reused, and people will have to opt in again
Being part of the beta for updated v1 no longer has any effect now that its shipped, and wont affect anything else
The docs linked by @Walshy | Pages above say that pages supports "Any version" of NodeJS - that's incorrect right - it's only 12 - 18?
or does the newly un-beta'd version include 19?
It supports lower than 12
and supports higher than 18
Ah neat
feel free to use 20
thanks 🙂
Good effort CF Pages team ❤️
