windows versions are missing

I have a node app that deploys to Windows Azure, it uses the googleapis and therefore the grpc, deployment on this environment has been working up until a few days ago and not deployment fails because node-pre-gyp cannot download pre-compiled versions of the file. I tried it with node 8.9.0 and it didn’t work, I dialed it back to 8.0.0 as this was the last one that worked and it doesn’t work either.

it doesn’t work on my dev machine either, on node 9.2.0, windows 10, and this was working fine on 9.0.0 just a few days ago.

currently from azure instance forcing 8.0.0 it throws

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(403): https://storage.googleapis.com/grpc-precompiled-binaries/node/grpc/v1.6.6/node-v11-win32-ia32.tar.gz 

node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for grpc@1.6.6 and node@0.10.40 (node-v11 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) 

any pointers on how to fix this?

As you can see, the difference is that the actual file exists in the directory with “v48” in its name, and it’s looking in the directory with “v57” in its name. This means that you installed the package using Node 6 and you are trying to run it with Node 8. If you’re having trouble getting those versions to match, one option would be to add a command line option when installing the package like this: npm install --target=8.0.0. It doesn’t actually matter what minor version you specify there; only the major versions have to match.

@murgatroid99 thanks for that, I can verify that doing it this way worked 👍
