grpc 1.12.1 fails to install with `npm ci`

Problem description

grpc 1.12.1 fails to install with npm ci

Reproduction steps

I've attached two empty projects that differ only in their dependency on grpc -- one uses 1.11.3, the other 1.12.1.
repro-grpc.zip

If you run npm ci with repro-grpc-1.11.3 it succeeds.
If you run npm ci with repro-grpc-1.12.1 it fails with sh: ./node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp: No such file or directory

Environment

• macOS 10.13.4
• node.js v10.1.0 installed via brew
• npm v6.0.1

Additional context

Likely related, when I install this version via yarn install I get this warning:

warning "grpc@1.12.1" is missing a bundled dependency "node-pre-gyp". This should be reported to the package maintainer.

For the last part, yarn can't be used to install grpc.

[nicolasnoble]

Right, and 1.12.1 doesn't contain node-pre-gyp as a bundled dependency, which causes that.

[nicolasnoble]

Published 1.12.2 to fix this. Sorry about the trouble.

I just confirmed npm ci works again with grpc@1.12.2

Thanks for the quick turnaround!
