Node.bcrypt.js: Bcrypt failed to install via npm or yarn

[Asmatchd]

Everything was working fine until i just update my windows 10 ( 1903 Latest), and just reconfigure my laptop for development, after cloning from git-hub, I was unable to run my nodejs express app due to Bcrypt. I've tried couple of attempts to install bcrypt via npm or yarn but failed. currently I'm at 3.0.4.

node version 12.4.0
npm version 6.9.0
python version 2.7
node-gyp version 3.8.0
node-pre-gyp version 0.12.0

error looks something like this.

I got the same issue when building our application's Dockerfile.

We're using Alpine, I had to change the following line:

RUN apk add --no-cache make gcc g++ python && \
  npm install

to

RUN apk --no-cache add --virtual builds-deps build-base python && \
  npm install

As mentioned in the Wiki: https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/wiki/Installation-Instructions#alpine-linux-based-images

I don't know when this changed, and it used to work until very recently, but this was the fix for us.

[Asmatchd]

I just resolve that issue on my side by downgrade nodejs to 11.0.4. Bcrypt doesn't support nodejs 12.4.

[cebor]

clearing all caches resolves the issue for me in node docker container 12.4 with yarn 0.16

[YasharF]

Is this still an issue? Can this be marked as resolved?

[rogerkerse]

Its fixed with bcrypt 3.0.6 for me

[cScarlson]

Cannot yarn upgrade bcrypt because error No lockfile in this directory. Run 'yarn install' to generate one..

• node: v11.2.0
• yarn: v1.17.3
• OS: Mac/OSX

[willianfalbo]

I managed to solve this by running the command:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python and then yarn add bcrypt.
