node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

[cvartan]

When installing sqlite3, npm fails on node-pre-gyp with error:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Completion callback never invoked!

I have a similar error when installing pprof:

I get a the same error (with a different Node.js version) when using node v8.15.1.

I see this both on my local linux workstation and running in a Google Compute Engine VM.

The binaries for pprof are kept in a publicly readable Google Cloud Storage bucket.

[markwolff]

not ideal but a workaround is to manually add "node-pre-gyp": "0.12.0" as a devDev to your package.json

Looking in the binary.module_path the correct binary is there. So the download is still working correctly, something really does seem to just being going wrong with the success callback itself?

EDIT2: continued fiddling with the source locally

The tar.extract() call in lib/install.js doesn't call either the error or close pipe event listeners and must time out or something leading to the bin exit handler about the callback getting called. I tried adding an onwarn option, which doesn't get called. Tried adding a finish event handler, which also didn't get called. Everything still works on my local Linux box and worked yesterday with all the same code on the Travis image where I'm debugging. Still haven't found what changed that caused this to start failing.

Same, about an hour ago docker builds started failing.

I managed to skip the bcrypt error by adding this before installing the package.json

npm --build-from-source install bcrypt

Anyone able to solved it out anyhow ?

[thierry1129]

try using build from source like this as gmunozc first mentioned
npm --build-from-source install bcrypt

I'm guessing their server is down

Using npm --build-from-source install works for all dependencies except sharp lovell/sharp#1882
