Missing headers file for building native code for ElectronJS v3.0.16

[lissyx]

Issue Details

• Electron Version:
  • 3.0.16
• Operating System:
  • Linux, macOS, Windows
• Last Known Working Electron version:
  • N/A

Expected Behavior

File at https://atom.io/download/electron/v3.0.16/node-v3.0.16-headers.tar.gz is downloadable

Actual Behavior

node-gyp / node-pre-gyp build fails with 404 on https://atom.io/download/electron/v3.0.16/node-v3.0.16-headers.tar.gz

[lissyx]

I could successfully access 4.0.3, 4.1.4, 5.0.0, but anything earlier seems to have disappeared ? I could understand older releases to be cleaned up, but according to https://electronjs.org/releases/stable?version=3&page=3#3.0.16 this one is just three months old.

For context, we do call node-pre-gyp with --target=3.0.16 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/electron --runtime=electron and it was working flawlessly over the past weeks.

@MarshallOfSound Looks like the URL we were using is deprecated, but even on the new one, I can't find those files: https://electronjs.org/headers/v3.0.16/node-v3.0.16-headers.tar.gz Do you know if that is on-purpose ?

@lissyx Drop back to node-gyp 4.x for now, looks like the latest release of node-gyp (went out today) broke support for Electron < 4.

nodejs/node-gyp#1778

Gonna leave this open just so folks coming to our tracker can find it while node-gyp is fixed.

@MarshallOfSound Sent a PR with new URL and forcing node-gyp@4.x, and it is indeed starting to turn green, thanks for the workaround !

Closing as this has been addressed and fixed on the node-gyp end.
