"Kind" value check fails in Creating NodeJS Actions

[jeancarl]

For the CREATING NODEJS ACTIONS:

https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-workshop/blob/master/exercises/creating_nodejs_actions/exercise.js#L9 https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-workshop/blob/master/exercises/creating_nodejs_actions/exercise.js#L41 https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk-workshop/blob/master/exercises/creating_nodejs_actions/exercise.js#L79

Three lines check for the kind value of nodejs:6.

const uses_nodejs = (stdout.match('"kind": "nodejs:6"'))

The returned value for kind is nodejs (using an older version of wsk CLI?), not nodejs:6 (see below):

wsk action get hello-world-nodejs-delay
ok: got action hello-world-nodejs-delay
{
    "annotations": [],
    "exec": {
        "code": "function main() {\n\treturn new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {\n\t\tsetTimeout(function() {\n\t\t\tresolve({message: \"Hello World\"});\n\t\t}, 3000);\n\t});\n}\n",
        "kind": "nodejs"
    },
    "limits": {
        "logs": 10,
        "memory": 256,
        "timeout": 60000
    },
    "name": "hello-world-nodejs-delay",
    "namespace": "------------------",
    "parameters": [],
    "publish": false,
    "version": "0.0.1"
}

That label normally indicates the Action is running in the older Node v0.12 runtime, rather than the current default v4.0.

I'll fix the code to accept any Node environment.

Thanks for reporting this.

I've now fixed this to allow both Node runtimes. Let me know if this is still an issue.
