I have installed the latest version of NodeJs (v18.14.0), but it still fails to do jobs, what should I do? this is the code from my workflow and the screenshot of the error.

# This workflow will do a clean installation of node dependencies, cache/restore them, build the source code and run tests across different versions of node
# For more information see: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/building-and-testing-nodejs

name: Node.js CI

on:
  push:
    branches: ['main']
  pull_request:
    branches: ['*']

jobs:
  quality:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [14.x, 16.x, 18.x]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      - run: npm install
      - run: npm test

  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}
    needs: [quality]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      - run: npm install
      - run: npm run semantic-release
        env:
          NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I've tried installing everything from scratch by removing node_modules and package.lock.json then I did an npm install, but the result is still the same. When pushed to the repository it always fails to run the job

The strategy is missing for the publish job. You have to define it under publish too.

Using ${{ matrix.node-version }} is invalid here without strategy:

publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # ...
    steps:
      # ...
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }} # invalid

You need to verify which version actions/setup-node installs under publish with that invalid value. Apparently, only the default preinstalled Node.js 16.19.0 is there.

NOTE: The default preinstalled NodeJS version will be set to 18 from tomorrow (Monday - February 13th, 2023).

Apart from that, the error in that image:

[semantic-release]: node version >=18 is required. Found v16.19.0.

means that this step can only run on NodeJS v18+. Installing other lower versions i.e. 14.x and 16.x would result in failures. This makes strategy completely redundant because you only need v18:

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 18

You might want to lint your workflows with https://rhysd.github.io/actionlint/ to identify potential issues.
