node-gyp: node-gyp arm64 node.lib returns HTTP code 403

First off I don’t know if it’s an issue with node-gyp or another repo.

Anyway it seems that something changed. We can no longer build Electron project. Older version (meaning old checkout git SHA) that used to work no compiles because of the issue.

I can see that the issue is with node.lib where it start fetching ia32, x64 and arm64 then arm64 fails with http response 403.

See below gyp verb on Windows; need to download node.lib...

The response is 403 gyp http 403 https://electronjs.org/headers/v5.0.11/win-arm64/node.lib

Please see the log below.:

It’ll be because of https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/1875. It looks like a 404 error code is handled but not 403: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/4fff8458c07698783959182bf82ebb4ae36d53b0/lib/install.js#L326-L336

I was able to work around by modifying the local node-gyp install.js

Path: .\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\install.js (On Windows)

I changed

  function downloadNodeLib (done) {
    log.verbose('on Windows; need to download `' + release.name + '.lib`...')
    var archs = ['ia32', 'x64', 'arm64']
    var async = archs.length

to

  function downloadNodeLib (done) {
    log.verbose('on Windows; need to download `' + release.name + '.lib`...')
    var archs = ['ia32', 'x64']
    var async = archs.length

i.e. I removed the arm64 arch.

Obviously not a long term solution but it lets me make a little progress

This should be fixed in node-gyp@6.0.1.

I can confirm that version 6.0.1 fixes this issue for me.

The latest LTS release of nodejs (12.13.0) comes with node-gyp 5.0.5. This is the version of node-gyp used to build native modules during an npm install.

However I see this issue during Electron’s rebuild of the native rebuild. The electron-rebuild.cmd uses the version of node-gyp in the local node_modules. Hence I can work around this by listing node-gyp 6.0.1 as a dependency in package.json.

@amknight you can get around this issue by using npm v6.11.3 (npm install -g npm@6.11.3) that version includes an older version of node-gyp before the issue was introduced.

Just noticed in the Error log that my version is still 5.0.5 (despite having removed, reinstalled the @latest ), so my issue probably come from here 🤔

Is there any workaround for this issue? I am encountering it with Electron 5.0.11 & Node 10.17.0

This should be fixed in node-gyp@6.0.1.

@WelaurS @Ciriak and anyone else using 6.0.1, did you do npm set config node_gyp as documented in https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/1715#issuecomment-502211967 ? If you did, there’s something wrong with the fix.

  • If when the error happens you see the line confirming the version gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v6.0.1, please run again with --silly and paste the output here (it will be large).
  • If it is some other version of node-gyp, please run with --verbose instead and paste here.

Hello. I just tried installing the v6.0.1-proposal (which technically fixes this issue) and this error remains.

System info: OS: Windows 7 64 bits. node: 12.13.0 Python: 2.7 npm: 6.12 Electron: 4.2.12

(Just in case I did something stupid)

I just ran: npm i -g nodejs/node-gyp#rvagg/v6.0.1-proposal and then npm i inside my workspace

Installing node-gyp was successful, but npm i failed with the 403 arms error Thanks!

I think you’ll also need to npm set config node_gyp as documented in https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/1715#issuecomment-502211967.
