Synapse - ReferenceError: Response is not defined

Case
My Synapse CICD deployment pipeline is failing with some kind of error pointing to a javascript file main.js: ReferenceError: Response is not defined

ReferenceError: Response is not defined

When using the Synapse Workspace Deployment addon for Azure Devops, it gives me an error (and it did work before) when trying to deploy a Synapase Analytics Workspace:

Entire error

Solution
This Synapse addon for DevOps requires node.js on your Azure DevOps agent. If you installed an older(/wrong) version of node.js then you will get this error. If you installed node.js in your YAML pipeline then you just need to raise the version. At the moment version 18 is the minimum version that works, but 22 also works. However it shifted a lot the past years. I think it started with version 10.

    checkLatest: true  

Conclusion

Just make sure to regularly check available node.js versions and then try if they already work with your Synapse release proces. In the past the most recent version didn't always worked for me.
