Additional context

I am behind a corporate proxy , but everything is configured to run smoothly with npm as it s centric in our pipeline

npm config get

; cli configs metrics-registry = “https://registry.npmjs.org/” scope = “” user-agent = “npm/6.7.0 node/v10.15.1 win32 x64”

; userconfig C:\Users\myuser.npmrc color = true http-*proxy = “http://proxy.mycompany.org:3128/” http-proxy = “http://proxy.mycompany.org:3128/” https-proxy = “http://proxy.mycompany.org:3128/” msvs_version = “2015” proxy = “http://proxy.mycompany.org:3128/” registry = “https://registry.npmjs.org/” strict-ssl = false

; builtin config undefined prefix = “C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm”

; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe ; cwd = C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\firebasetest ; HOME = C:\Users\myuser ; “npm config ls -l” to show all defaults.

I tried to install node-pre-gyp as global , npm cache clean --force , but the issue is still present. pre compiled binaries cannot be found, and compilation failed
