sorry for holding this off until today 😅

Do we use a different version of gyp as compared to node-gyp? I found all the right function calls but they were calling different things, so had been wondering.

Is the benefit of discarding the spurious error greater than the cost of swallowing other useful debugging information in the event of a real error? (I don't know the answer.)

See discussion in #21520 , but I'd say absolutely. This is the minimal changeset, and it shouldn't swallow any relevant errors.

See nodejs/node-gyp#569 for the pain it causes, I think we should keep the in-tree GYP build as similar as possible to the node-gyp version in any case.

LGTM FWIW, but would appreciate other reviews.

Radical idea: What if we dropped the in-tree gyp in favour of the one embedded in node-gyp (which we are already dependent on to build the addon tests)?

What's the status on this one?

[ryzokuken]

@richardlau has an excellent suggestion, but this PR can be landed nonetheless.

[ryzokuken]

Noticed that nobody landed this, but it has enough approvals, etc. Landing this in a few hours unless someone objects.

[refack]

@ryzokuken if you'd like to submit a PR "upstream", where we could debate the finer point of this case.

[refack]

wait... we already landed #2199916cffb0
😕

superseded by 16cffb0

This has conflicts and needs an up to date CI run.

[refack]

I'm going to close this as superseded. @ryzokuken feel free to reopen.

[ryzokuken]

@refack will do.

[ryzokuken]

Waiiit a minute. Why would I open two PRs with the exact same goal?
