Getting Warning in Node version only for PMD

[vivelan]

Hi,

I have shifted all my Github Action(Pipeline) from 16 to 20 th version for Node, but I am facing warning only for PMD pipeline, Kindly help me to resolve this.

Pipeline code:

# Unique name for this workflow
name: PMD Code Scan

# Definition when the workflow should run
on:
    # The workflow will run whenever an event happens on a pull request
    pull_request:
      # The events are that a PR is opened, or when a commit is pushed
      # to a branch that has an existing pull request
      types: [opened, synchronize]
      # The branches filter allows to specify that this workflow should only
      # run if the branch name is as listed below. This way we prevent this workflow
      # from running when PRs are opened on other branches
      branches: [ environment/*/dev , environment/qa ]
      # We only care about changes to the force-app directory, which is the
      # root directory of the sfdx project. This prevents the job from running
      # when changing non-salesforce files (like this yml file).
      paths:
        - 'force-app/**'
            

# Jobs to be executed when the above conditions are met
jobs:
    # This is the name of the job. You can give it whatever name you want
    Run-PMD-Code-Scan:
        # As mentioned in the blog post, this job runs inside a VM. Here we
        # can specify which OS this VM should run on. 
        # In this case, we are going to run our commands on the latest version
        # of ubuntu
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        permissions:
                    contents: read
                    pull-requests: write
                    # required for all workflows
                    security-events: write
                    # only required for workflows in private repositories
                    actions: read
                    
        if: ${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' }}
        steps:
      
            # Now we install nodejs in the VM, and specify version 14
            - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
              with:
                node-version: '20'

            # The idea is that the VM can access your remote repository
            # because your repository is an sfdx project.
            # This is a default action that allows us to enter the root 
            # directory of the repository

            # Make sure to specify fetch-depth:0. This allows us to
            # access previous commits that have been pushed to the repository.

            # We'll need this later when we try to figure out which metadata has 
            # changed between commits, so that we can only deploy that metadata
            # to the destination org

            - name: 'Checkout source code'
              uses: actions/checkout@v4
              with:
                fetch-depth: 0
            
            # Run PMD Scan
            - name: 'Run PMD Scan'
              uses: pmd/pmd-github-action@v1
              id: pmd
              with: 
                    sourcePath: 'force-app'
                    rulesets: 'ruleset.xml'    
                    analyzeModifiedFilesOnly: true
                    createGitHubAnnotations: true 
                    
            - name: Fail build if there are violations
              if: steps.pmd.outputs.violations != 0
              run: exit 1
