AMD64 Windows Version 4.4.1 fails to build: `npm ERR! gyp ERR! not ok`, VS Build Tool Errors

[BinaryVixen899]

Version

PS C:\Users\User\Downloads\test> fastly version Fastly CLI version v4.4.1 (b10aa45) Built with go version go1.18.8 linux/amd64

What happened

This was originally reported by a customer and I was able to reproduce it by spinning up a Windows 11 VM where I

• Installed Fastly CLI (AMD64) v 4.4.1
• Installed 64 bit Git via https://git-scm.com/download/win, changing no settings
• Installed Node JS via https://nodejs.org/en/, checking the box to install build tools.
• Tried to build the initial JavaScript project after running fastly compute init

Attached is the output I got after type in fastly compute build.

The workaround the customer is using is building in Fastly/CLI version 3.X.X but it appears there may be issues there as well. It's unclear. Their working theory is that 4.X.X introduced a dependency to node-gyp which introduces a dependency to VS Build Tools. They've found lots of folks have had problems getting these to work together(IE: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63046241/vs-code-gyp-err-find-vs)

At this point in time the workaround I am suggesting is to use WSL.

Workarounds that didn't work include:

• Powershell admin mode
• Developer Console , with all the extra path variables set

Now what's interesting is that Cmake did run, suggesting the dev tools are in the path.

Request for help...

I'm unable to debug this as I do not have a Windows machine (I'm using an M1 Mac and running Windows is especially problematic at the moment as it seems no virtual machine providers support M1). So help needed testing, debugging and fixing this issue.
