Description of the Change
Our Deploy to WordPress.org action is failing and it appears to be an issue with the node version that the action runs under and the webpack version the plugin uses to build assets.
Found this answer that talks about changes in node v17+ that conflict with webpack v4. While it would be ideal to update this plugin to use the latest version of webpack, the easy approach for now is to run our deploy action under node 16.
How to test the Change
Can't test for sure until we trigger the deploy action but you can test locally by installing node 16 and running
npm run build
. That command should work.
