Build fails on TravisCI with Node 11 due to node-gyp

[rwieruch]

[REQUIRED] Describe your environment

• Operating System version: macOS Sierra 10.13.3
• Browser version: Chrome70.0.3538.77
• Firebase SDK version: 5.5.0+
• Firebase Product: Firebase auth, database

[REQUIRED] Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

I have 5 projects than ran with Firebase 5.0.0+ versions. All of them have TravisCI for building the project. Once I upgraded all projects to Firebase 5.5.0+, the build for TravisCI failed even though the build on my local machine goes through.

Relevant Projects:

• https://github.com/the-road-to-learn-react/react-firebase-chat/blob/master/package.json
• https://github.com/taming-the-state-in-react/gatsby-firebase-authentication/blob/master/package.json
• https://github.com/taming-the-state-in-react/react-firebase-authentication/blob/master/package.json
• https://github.com/taming-the-state-in-react/react-mobx-firebase-authentication/blob/master/package.json

It still works for this project which is on an older version:

• https://github.com/taming-the-state-in-react/react-redux-firebase-authentication/blob/master/package.json

I tested it by upgrading only Firebase in this project today, afterward the build on TravisCI failed:

• see last two commits: https://github.com/taming-the-state-in-react/react-mobx-firebase-authentication/commits/master

StackTrace

I think it is related to node-gyp and the Node version:

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Thanks for reporting it! It's the same issue as #1341
It appears to be a Node11 issue. Downgrading to Node10 is the workaround for now. Please follow grpc/grpc-node#594 for updates.

Same here, some forms recommend install python 2.7.x and (windows) install windows build tools, making sure you have .net framework installed, disable windows defender and any Antivirus, but for me it was downgrading node to 10.
