Node 22.12 causes error _serverlessExternalPluginName on servereless before v3.40

[arthurcaccavo]

Bug Report

The error is the same as stated here serverless/serverless#12936 as the version target as dependency for the serverless-offline v13 is serverless ^3.2 the fixing update is not enforced.

Being nodejs22.x a supported runtime maybe the version should be changed to fix this here also.

Current Behavior

Using Node v22.12 or later causes _serverlessExternalPluginName error

Expected behavior

Node v22.X should be supported

Environment

• serverless version: v3.39.0
• serverless-offline version: v13.9.0
• node.js version: v22.12
• OS: windows 11

Possible Solution

Change the dependency to serverless 3.40

Bumping the minimum version of serverless forces users over to the newer version, which isn't necessary what you want. The updated serverless version is within the allowed range, so you just need to update the serverless version you have installed. No change here is required.

No change here is required.

Being node v22 a supported runtime for serverless-offline v13 then I understand that it should be usable on this runtime as is. The current state does so it fails to do anything on the supported node v22 with no indication to the user to which is the best approach for solving the issue.

Let's see it differently: For every bug fix of serverless there will not be a new release of serverless-offline to bring that in, or any other that declares it as peer dependency likewise.

The problem is beyond this repo, and how dependency management in Node.js works in general: Simply update the serverless version you have to a newer version. It is outdated.
