Random HTTP 500 statuses or ECONNRESET when node-gyp fetches dependencies

[rchennafi]

This is occurring across multiple node versions, architectures and system types. Our build system regularly runs node gyp in its build for our NPM packages across every version of nodejs and about 5% of builds are subject to a 500 status failure or an ECONNRESET when setting up node-gyp.

This strikes me as an issue with the server which hosts the node gyp files. Is there possibly a way around downloading these node-gyp dependencies each time? Or maybe something that can be done to fix the instability there?

These builds all took place inside of Amazon server instances.

Here is an instance on node 14 with node gyp 7.1.2 on a Windows Server 2019 machine.

These were just the instances I was able to find within the last 2 weeks of our daily build system. If you want more specific details about each machine I can provide those. The Linux builds are all run within Docker containers.

@StefanStojanovic Any ideas?

[StefanStojanovic]

03:37:14 gyp http 404 https://nodejs.org/download/release/v19.5.0/win-arm64/node.lib

This is expected because win-arm64 is part of official releases starting with v19.9.0. However, if HTTP status code 403 or 404 is received for downloading node.lib that should not be a problem according to this code.

[cclauss]

Is this now only a Window issue?

[rchennafi]

It is most consistent on Windows and Windows is probably the main pain point. The last few logs I've linked are all x64 so not specifically ARM either. Last night we had 4 windows builds all fail around 4:00 AM PST across different node versions with various ECONNRESET and 500 errors.

Some context here, we have node builds for electron and node each for Mac, Windows and Linux. This ends up being about 18 builds per night each running node 8->19 and for electron, 11->22.

[StefanStojanovic]

Status code 500, unlike 403 and 404 fails the installation, as seen from https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2847#issuecomment-1549880856 since no time passes between those two logs. The error is thrown from here.

I'm not sure this is a Windows-specific issue, especially not an ARM-on-Windows issue. Getting HTTP 500 and ECONNRESET seems more like an issue in communication with the server from which the binaries are downloaded than anything else.

[StefanStojanovic]

A quick update on this topic: I've investigated this issue more and found a way to improve Windows installation to decrease network traffic. I have a PoC, but since it changes the install.js script, I'm waiting for https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/2846 to land. Afterward, I'll rebase, resolve potential conflicts and open the PR.

Experienced this in Windows today

Since two others experienced this today, could this just be some issue with nodejs.org downloads? But it also seems like this is a common issue with node-headers or node.lib...

It really does seem like there's simply an issue with the nodejs website and serving these files. I'm unsure if fixing this even lies within the scope of node-gyp beyond the initial changes that were made.

We are also seeing this random issue in our CI.

I'm also seeing this in my CI environment. I can positively confirm that all of my hosts can normally download this file, so whatever the download issue is it's local to node-gyp.

This comes through the node:20-alpine base image, and the error isn't really actionable so I'm not sure what else to try here. The npm package that's being built with node-gyp is node-pty@0.10.1 FWIW. CICD environment is GoCD.

Update: Using the node:20-bullseye base image works, so there might be a missing dependency or something that's not present in MUSL that's ending up boiling that error out. If it's a missing dependency, I'd imagine node-gyp would have a basic package check it could do?
