Error building bcrypt with node-gyp

I started to have this issues with nuxt/vercel-builder 0.17.12.

[4/5] Building fresh packages...

Seems, for some reason the bcrypt installation started to fail after version 0.17.7. I made a test today using this version, and the project builded successfully.

I think I found a workaround to the resolve this issue.

You can add vercel-build to your package.json to global install node-gyp, you’ll need to add a builds step before @nuxtjs/vercel-builder to ensure it gets installed in the correct order.

// vercel.json
{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "package.json",
      "use": "@vercel/node"
    },
    {
      "src": "nuxt.config.js",
      "use": "@nuxtjs/vercel-builder",
      "config": {
        "serverFiles": ["server-middleware/**"]
      }
    }
  ],
}

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "vercel-build": "yarn global add node-gyp"
  }
}

It worked for me! I’m using the @supabase/supabase-js package that relies on node-gyp-build so my vercel-build command looks like yarn global add node-gyp-build.
