Compatibility with SPFX extension - different Node versions required

[MartinM85]

The latest version of CLI requires Node 20.

I have spfx extension, but it requires only Node 19. Node 20 is not supported, at least for gulp bundle

 gulp bundle --ship

Do you know any workaround for this?

Do you have a Windows machine? If this is the case, nvm is a real lifesaver. You can switch Node versions within seconds.

Yes, I'm developing on Windows. Checking the tool, exactly what can save me.

Thanks.
