.node-version and .nvmrc not LTS

[MikeMcC399]

The instructions on Testing Your First Application > App Install and Overview say to use the LTS version of Node.js, which is currently 18.17.1 according to https://nodejs.org/.

The following two files however contain 16.15.0 which is not only not the LTS version, it is also unsupported since Sep 11, 2023:

• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-testing-course-app/blob/start/.node-version
• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-testing-course-app/blob/start/.nvmrc

This is inconsistent. In other repositories, such as https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-app there are explicit instructions to pay attention to the content of these two files and to install the corresponding version of Node.js.

Suggestion

Update the following files

• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-testing-course-app/blob/start/.node-version
• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-testing-course-app/blob/start/.nvmrc

to contain the (18.x) value of the LTS version of Node.js according to https://nodejs.org/.

Make the changes in

• the default branch start
• and the branch final
