Sentry fails to install/run around 30% of the time when using `sentrycli_cdnurl`

[RossMcMillan92]

Environment

Jenkins
Using @sentry/next
Using artifactory (changing the URL with sentrycli_cdnurl)

Steps to Reproduce

Around 30% of our builds fail with:

Error: Unexpected sentry-cli version "", expected "1.75.2"

I suspect it's because we're altering the download location with sentrycli_cdnurl, however, I don't think artifactory is the issue as all our other dependencies (including a few others with binaries) install without issue. Seems like a race condition somewhere.

Expected/Actual Result

The package would install and run correctly.

Increased npm config setting fetch-retry-mintimeout and fetch-retry-maxtimeout
Doesn't help

[loewenheim]

Can you try using PyPI instead of NPM?

[mike-4040]

I've found the way around it: manually downloaded binaries and then set SENTRY_BINARY_PATH= alongside SENTRYCLI_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1.
The ideal solution is to make ./scripts/install.js to honor the npm timeout config settings.

@loewenheim, thank you for the suggestion. Why don't I try it before? Likely because I am stupid :)

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!

Still seeing this quite often unfortunately.
