The runtime parameter of nodejs8.10 is no longer supported for creating or updating AWS Lambda functions

Serverless Framework
1

I am getting the below error when running
serverless deploy function -f myFunction

I have also updated the node version in the serverless.yml:

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs10.x
  stage: dev
  region: eu-west-2

And also in .babelrc:
{
“plugins”: [“source-map-support”, “transform-runtime”],
“presets”: [
[“env”, { “node”: “10.14.1” }],
“stage-3”
]
}

 Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  ServerlessError: The runtime parameter of nodejs8.10 is no longer supported for creating or updating AWS Lambda functions. We recommend you use the new runtime (nodejs12.x) while creating or updating functions.

Hi. I ran into the same issue. I had to change my serverless.yaml:
runtime: nodejs12.x

My project also builds within a Docker image before deploying, so I also had to update the node version installed in my container, but for most, this won’t apply.

Hope this helps!
