HEROKU : node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Question

I had this problem since I used @discordjs/opus, I saw a big bunch of similar problems everywhere, and nothing helped me changing this error. It always concern node-pre-gyp. I first tried to put it manually in my package.json, and the build suceeded, but there was no sound siplayed, and a lot of warning messages in the build log... Also some people had issues with bcrypt, but it wasn't the case here...

Thanks for your help!

Well, as JM-AGMS said, the solution was to make visible package lock, type the node engine in the package, and remove the node modules folder in order to have a succeeded build.

However, the error about node pre-gyp is still there.
