Failing to execute correct node file

[Gabe-Ambrosio]

Description:
When this action is run on actions/setup-node@v3.4.0 it fails to execute node with:

/usr/local/bin/docker exec  825742ed8cb56497af43a3e9cad45d62a8173d83a0d7ee04089e4661011a3157 sh -c "cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID"

Error: There was an error when attempting to execute the process '/__t/node/14.20.0/x64/bin/node'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn /__t/node/14.20.0/x64/bin/node ENOENT

Action version:
actions/setup-node@v3.4.0

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:

yarn v1.22.19
node 14.20.0

Repro steps:
Adding an action with:

- name: Use Node.js 14.x
  uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: 14

Will trigger the issue.

Expected behavior:
I expect the install to succeed without any errors.

Actual behavior:
The installation fails when it tries to execute the node executable, specifically running the command:

node --version

Edit:
It also looks like this is only occurring with the docker container:

image: node:14-alpine

I had this issue as well (image: node:16.14.2-alpine3.15)

Setting uses: actions/setup-node@v3.3.0 fixed it. This is obviously a temporary fix until the issue is resolved.

Hello everyone. The issue comes from these lines. Internally it uses spawn method to execute it. But toolcache node versions are not compatible with alpine that is why the command getting error on the process level and it produces the issue. We prepared a pull request to fix it #540. But as temporary workaround for alpine images you can remove node-version input, because it does not affect installed node version.

Hi @dmitry-shibanov , yep it looks like that fixed it! And just to be sure, I pinned the latest commit SHA when I used the action like this:

- name: Use Node.js 14.x
  uses: actions/setup-node@2fddd8803e2f5c9604345a0b591c3020ee971a93
    with:
      node-version: 14

And it successfully setup node without a problem with this output:

Run actions/setup-node@2fddd8803e2f5c9604345a0b591c3020ee971a93
/usr/local/bin/docker exec  6b581d163bdf8c99a8f935c359b51a9a294e3928da5ddd9bf9ea3c24b7a6a1e7 sh -c "cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID"
