Build failed on tck tests: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/lightbend/kalix-javascript-sdk/1680/workflows/a1239dca-5adb-41cd-99de-67768de14d12/jobs/10131

I had that same error before on my own machine and it's related with Node version being updated. I solved it by bumping the version to v18.

This failure indicates that the tck tests are running with and old version.

Although the error is the same I got another day, it's not related to node version. In the logs we can see that it build with v18.16.0. 🤷

[pvlugter]

I thought we might make this release 1.1.0 because of the node version update. But no problem.

[octonato]

hmm, I know you made me check the docs and we are still saying that we need node 14. 🤦

[octonato]

Maybe we should simply cut 1.1.0 once we update the docs.
