Visual Studio 2019 Error: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe ENOENT

saper commented 4 years ago

Does anyone have a workaround for this? When I run yarn and it tries to compile node-sass, it throws an error. I know this is due to the deprecated node-gyp trying to use VS2019 to compile. I've installed the windows build tools for VS2017 and VS2015 but how do I get it to look there?

I'm using sass instead it is the only reliable way for VSCode as it prebuilds packages and do not recompile them as you're changing node version.

jvretamero commented 4 years ago

@saper, I was facing a similar problem right now. I saw that node-sass try to download a pre-compiled binary from Github respecting the supported node version.

In my case, I was trying to install node-sass@4.9.3 (which supports node version 10) and my node version is 12. What I did was to manually download the .node file from the latest release (which supports my node version) and put it at npm-cache\node-sass\4.9.3.

After this I was able to npm install without problems. But I think that downgrading your node could solve this problem as well.

saper commented 4 years ago

Thanks @jvretamero - in your case you need to figure out which part of your project keeps node-sass version low (for example by requiring ^4.9). Sometimes one has to find the project and ask them to update the dependency, like I did here for Pinafore:

https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/pull/1625

If there is no matching binary, your system will fall back into compilation - and it might run into this issue we have here.

nhustak commented 4 years ago

This is has been going on for months. Apparently it's never going to be fixed. Node-Sass is locked to a super old version of node-gyp. I'm trying to figure out how to remove node-sass from my Angular build - I'll never use it again.

joaocgreis commented 4 years ago

As things currently stand, this workaround might work: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1753#issuecomment-496024604 . Or it might not, it's completely unsupported.

@saper please consider removing the requirement for an explicit version of node-gyp. If I understand correctly, the problem with using new versions of node-gyp is that support for Node.js < 6 was dropped. Anyone willing to use an ancient version of Node.js with known vulnerabilities should also be willing to use an old version of node-sass, and versions of Node.js < 10 should not be recommended anywhere. There are frequent issues on the node-gyp issue tracker about this (example), but nothing can be done there since new versions already fix the problem.

It worked for me to get around the node-gyp build errors re: MSBuild. Used the following npm config to get a good build with VS2019 Pro installed locally.
npm config set msvs_version 2017
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"

Maybe an update of node-gyp could fix this path issue.
