Deprecated Ubuntu 18.04 used in example workflows

See original GitHub issue

Where to find the issue

There are three workflows using the deprecated runner Ubuntu 18.04:

Describe the issue

GitHub workflows are using the deprecated ubuntu-18.04 runner image.

GitHub ubuntu-18.04 runner is deprecated and will be fully unsupported by 2023-04-01.
GitHub Ubuntu-latest workflows will use Ubuntu-22.04. Edit: completed on Dec 15, 2022.

Suggestion

PR https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/pull/643 incidentally addresses the issue with .github/workflows/example-firefox.yml by updating to ubuntu-latest. Edit: now changed to ubuntu-20.04.

Update the other two workflows to use ubuntu-22.04:

In addition update:

actions/checkout@v2 to v3

Consider for these two workflows if it is necessary to retain testing of two different versions of Ubuntu. In general it may be advantageous for all workflows to standardize on ubuntu-latest.

I would offer to submit a PR for this, however I am unsure if there is capacity on the maintainer side of this repository currently which could process PR submission. How are things looking in general here from the maintenance side?

The more I look, the more I see things which need updating!

Thank you @MikeMcC399. I learned that pinning these Ubuntu runners to a specific version was to help with this issue. However, as you’ve noted this is now becoming outdated. -latest is still transitioning to ubuntu-22.04. So for the time being, we could update the pinned versions to latest and update the test which covers one version behind accordingly.

There is a new team of two aiming to get ALL Cypress tools and plugins back up to date. There are a number of things needing attention in the GHA. This will take some time but I encourage you to open PRs where you can!
