lts/ named aliases not resolving to correct sequence of versions

[amclin]

Description:
New named aliases introduced in #481 are not resolving correctly. Using named alias lts/* on hosted GitHub runners resolves to Node v16 instead of the current LTS v18. As a result, each of the named aliases lts/-n are offset incorrectly. (-1 resolves to v14 instead of v16, -2 to v12, etc..)

Action version:
v3.3

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:

Repro steps:
Setup GitHub action using aliases for node versions:
https://github.com/amclin/aem-packager/blob/master/.github/workflows/run-tests.yml

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: ['lts/*', 'lts/-1', 'lts/-2']
        # See supported Node.js release schedule at https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

Expected behavior:

• lts/-2 resolves to Node v14
• lts/-1 resolves to Node v16
• lts/* resolves to Node v18

Actual behavior:

• lts/-2 resolves to Node v12

• lts/-1 resolves to Node v14
  • https://github.com/amclin/aem-packager/runs/7256815626?check_suite_focus=true#step:3:9
• lts/* resolves to Node v16

Hello @amclin. Thank you for your report. The node 18 is not in active status and it does not have the codename for now. When it goes to the active state the alias name will be added to node-versions.

For now I'm going to close the issue because it is an expected behaviour.
