Node-Gyp failure while packing registry.js on Electron App

[mkermani144]

Same happens with electron-builder.

I think the problem with electron-builder is already solved in electron-builder and you only need to upgrade that package, see atom/node-keytar#380 (comment)

Maybe the issue with node-gyp is the same?

registry-js is used by GitHub Desktop and it builds without problems 🤔

I don't know if it's a electron-builder, node-gyp or repo issue, but it still exists in the latest version of electron-builder (22.11.7 at this time).

We use electron-forge and still experience it.

Quick update, it works on the following:

node -v
v14.16.0

npm -v
6.14.11

The above uses NAPI_VERSION=7 but latest node where is is broken on uses 8.

Failure is at https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html; https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/blob/main/napi-inl.h#L1391-L1403

It seems a npm bug. I used yarn to install deps and it all works fine.
