MSBuild.exe ENOENT

[liudonghua123]

• Node Version: 12.8.0
• Platform: Windows 10 1903
• Compiler: VS2017、VS2019
• Module: node-sass

I installed full VS2019 and visual 2017 C++ Build tools. I also tried the suggestions mentioned on #1747

npm install --global node-gyp@latest
for /f "delims=" %P in ('npm prefix -g') do npm config set node_gyp "%P\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js"

But when I execute yarn to install dependences which include node-sass, I always got gyp ERR! stack Error: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe ENOENT even I set the config npm config set msvs_version 2017

[liudonghua123]

@cclauss I understand 'No such file or directory' error, but this issue is not just ENOENT error.
I have installed VS2017 and configure msvs_version to use 2017, but the installation still use the 2019.

In my computer:

Right: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe

Wrong: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

[chester0]

Was getting this too, to fix:
edit C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js
Line 159:

variables['msbuild_path'] = path.join(vsSetup.path, 'MSBuild', '15.0', 'Bin', 'MSBuild.exe')

Change the '15.0' to 'Current'

[liudonghua123]

@lntmny, @chester0 After I update node-gyp to 5.x, then I got no such errors.

[liudonghua123]

I modified package.json, and add the following snippets.

  "resolutions": {
    "node-gyp": "5.0.3"
  }

Then install the dependencies via yarn, all the errors disappeared.

How did you solve this? I am facing the
same issue

[satori-stan]

I have node-gyp 5.0.3 and the source lists the following environment variable to be an override for the path to MSBuild: GYP_MSVS_OVERRIDE_PATH.
After configuring the variable, the build finished as expected.

[cclauss]

I have node-gyp 5.0.3

Then please upgrade https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22ERR%21+node-gyp+-v+%3C+v5.1.0%22+is%3Aclosed
