Node version is not specified on DDEV defaults to 20 on local and 18 on Tugboat

[beto-aveiga]

When the node version is not specific on the .ddev/config.yml file, it defaults to 20 locally on DDEV, but on Tugboat, it is 18.

Then after running composer install with the node version set on the DDEV config file, you get an update in the init.sh for tugboat

Which means that node version is not sync locally and for Tugboat.

What's interesting is the default config ddev generates has a node version in it. So I guess it would have been manually deleted?

I think it would be fine for us to throw an error if the node version isn't specified in ddev.

Likely yes.

@deviantintegral What about just throwing a warning?

Why would you want to not specify the node version? At the least, I would have thought you'd want "auto" (which admittedly our Tugboat config won't do anything with).

I think about projects that do not have this for any reason, and then Drainpipe stop working when running composer install or when trying to deploy a Tugboat instance. A warning seems better than breaking a packages installation or breaking a deployment on Tugboat.
