"node-gyp configure" fails with ECONNRESET error.

[YaminiManthena1]

npm install -g node-gyp was successful but node-gyp configure throws the error below. Trying to upgrade node version in our application.

Mine is a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

@YaminiManthena1 @spectravp are you seeing those under VirtualBox?

[justinmoninger]

Same. My error is coming from a docker container on Cloud Foundry.

@bzoz You had an idea?

@justinmoninger it seems like either Docker or "Cloud Foundry" is breaking your TLS connection, that might happen if they have a filter that stops the TLS handshake. Or those systems have an old CA.

You can work around this by downloading the node source tarball from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v6.9.5/ and directing node-gyp to use it instead of trying to download it, by setting export npm_config_tarball=PATH_OF_TARBALL or npm config set npm_config_tarball PATH_OF_TARBALL

@bzoz You had an idea?

I assume @bzoz suspected the bug he mentioned here nodejs/node#10286 (comment)

[bzoz]

Exactly

FYI the tarball option won't work for Windows users, as node-gyp will try to download the node.lib files separately.

---

If you've installed node and npm you already have node-gyp installed (it's a dependency of npm), you just need the headers.

Assuming you're using node v6.10.1:

Headers are stored in ~/.node-gyp/6.10.1/ (or %USERPROFILE%\.node-gyp on windows), you also need the installVersion file. In later versions of node-gyp these files could change, check the contents of ~/.node-gyp on a machine with internet access when you run npm i -g node-gyp && node-gyp configure and duplicate it.

curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.1/node-v6.10.1-headers.tar.gz # on a computer with internet
curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.1/win-x64/node.lib # Windows 64-bit only
curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.1/win-x86/node.lib # Windows 32-bit only
# Copy header tarball to offline machine
mkdir -p  ~/.node-gyp/6.10.1
tar -xf node-v6.10.1-headers.tar.gz --directory ~/.node-gyp/6.10.1/ --strip-components 1
echo 9 >~/.node-gyp/6.10.1/installVersion

Basically the contents of ~/.node-gyp or %USERPROFILE%\.node-gyp should look like this:

6.10.1
├── include # Contains downloaded headers
└── installVersion # File, content is the number 9
└── x64 # Contains 64-bit node.lib (windows only)
└── ia32 # Contains 32-bit node.lib (windows only)
└── Release # Contains 64-bit node.lib (windows only)

npm install of native modules should now work.
