RuntimeError: Unknown runtime 'nodejs8'

When I try to run my nodeJS dev_app server locally to test my app.yaml file, I am getting this error:

RuntimeError: Unknown runtime 'nodejs8'; supported runtimes are 'custom', 'go', 'java', 'java7', 'java8', 'php55', 'php72', 'python', 'python-compat', 'python27', 'python37'.

However Google announced that NodeJS is now supported with AppEngine standard environment. Here's my app.yaml file:

runtime: nodejs8
service: front
handlers:
  - url: /.*\.[jpg|css|js|svg|ttf]
    secure: always
    redirect_http_response_code: 301
    static_files: public/\1
    upload: public/.*

  - url: /.*
    secure: always
    script: bin/start

PS: I updated my google cloud SDK, the current version is 209.0.0

Unlike for other standard environment supported languages, for node.js local development doesn't appear to be using the SDK-supplied development server, which is probably why you see that error when trying to run that server. From Running locally:

To test your application's functionality before deploying, run your application in your local environment with the development tools that you usually use.

For example, npm start.
