Description of change
This is a workaround for an error while building the Node.js bindings.
node-gyp
is a primarily Python-based tool to build native modules for Node.js andprebuild
is using an old version of it. The root issue is thatnode-gyp
is trying to open a file with the deprecated'U'
mode which was removed in Python 3.11. At this time, only macOS is failing because it's using Python 3.11, but I think it's only a matter of time before the default Python version on Windows and Linux runners are updated (they're currently using 3.8.10).Links to any relevant issues
