Maybe you have it set as node 18 in your package.json engine field?

interesting <:Thinking:1360710341239242762>

well it defaults to node 22 regardless so it must be overwritten somewhere, also make sure a .nvmrc file isn't overwriting it

Don't have a .nvmrc. Hmm, it defaults to Node 22 even for the bun-specific Railpack?

https://railpack.com/languages/node
When using Node it says defaults to 22 but when using Bun it doesn't list a Node version default.

When Node.js isn’t required in the final image but is needed during installation (for native modules), a basic Node.js version will be installed from apt packages.

The build logs show this occurring.

Is there a way to install a higher version of Node when using a Bun-based Railpack?

I'm not sure, at the very least the docs dont state otherwise it only says Node 22 is the default

Perhaps it'd be worthwhile creating a Dockerfile for your app <:Thinking:1360710341239242762>

I was hoping not to

Railpack mentions If any script in your package.json contains node it will install Node so I added: "donotuse": "node --version" (absolutely horrible, I know)

The build logs show: node │ 20.19.3 │ package.json > engines > node (>=20.0.0)

Seems like it worked as a workaround to get a higher version of Node installed.

oh neat, thanks for sharing

well not perfect

Some creativity. not perfect indeed. hope someone else can benefit with this esoteric knowledge, glad to share!

Thanks for your help!
