Template specifies deprecated Runtime 10.x

[nishantcasey]

When attempting to deploy this using Lambda Application based SAM deploy, the CloudFormation stack errors out with the following error:

"The runtime parameter of nodejs10.x is no longer supported for creating or updating AWS Lambda functions. We recommend you use the new runtime (nodejs14.x) while creating or updating functions."

Workaround

1. Copied the SAM template provided as part of the application.
2. Modified Runtime -> Runtime: nodejs14.x
3. Deployed SAM Application

The deployment worked & I was able to test the function with the 'Alexa Start Session' test event.

Can the application please be updated at the SAM side to modify the template in this way?

Hi mate, I was trying to run the template and was having the same issue - can you share the steps you followed to set up the stack in nodejs14.x? It'd be a great help as I'm still getting into this space. Cheers

Did you use the template below and how did you deploy it?

The steps were as follows:

1. Publish a new Private SAM application in Serverless Application Repository.
   • https://console.aws.amazon.com/serverlessrepo/home?region=us-east-1#/published-applications/create
   • (Select the relevant region you’re looking to deploy this application or change it in this URL)
   • Application Name -> Anything you wish, I used ‘AlexaSkillsNode14’ for example
   • Author -> I just put ‘nishant’ in here
   • SPDX License -> Apache 2.0 (Again this is up to you)
   • Semantic Version -> 1.0.0 (Just needs to be a 2-dot semantic version)
   • Source Code -> https://github.com/alexa-samples/skill-sample-nodejs-fact Template -> (See below)
2. Go back to the Lambda console and select the newly created application (Should appear in the ‘Private Applications’ tab when you choose ‘Browse Serverless app repository’
3. Once deployed, I was able to test the function in the console using the ‘Alexa Skills Start Session’ test event

Looking at your key, it seems you are missing the full arn.. It should be [your-account-id]/arn:aws:serverlessrepo:us-[your-region]:[your-account-id]:applications-AlexaSkillsNode14-versions-1.0.0/[your-uuid]

Hope that works for you too!

Coming from a 2018 tutorial, the above solution worked!

We have updated the serverless app. You should be able to deploy it.
