node-gyp not working with node 18.12.1

I've been trying to rebuild native modules against Node 18.12.1, using headers for Electron 23.1.1. Things work fine on macOS and Linux. However on Windows, node-gyp frequently fails to extract headers successfully. What I have pasted below is the most common error. I have also seen node-gyp think a header did not exist after extraction, even though it does. Let me know if you'd like that error output as well.

Verbose output (from npm or node-gyp):

Hmmmm I think this is related to isaacs/node-tar#321, but that should have been fixed in tar v6.1.12. I wonder if our machines are caching some older version somewhere? Maybe it would be good for node-gyp to bump tar to 6.1.12 to make sure that version is used.

[MRayermannMSFT]

I have decided to workaround this issue by moving to npm 9.5.0, which has tar 6.1.13. Since npm 9 is the way forward, I don't mind if this issue is closed as "won't fix".

I am also getting the same error...
i didn't understand what is the workaround...
can you please tell it in detail ?

The workaround is to install a version of npm that has node-gyp using tar 6.1.12 or newer. I chose to use npm version 9.5.0 but there may be other versions that would work. To install a different version of npm you can simply do:

npm install --global npm@9.5.0
