Failed build process, for required npm-check-updates

[uruha]

Hi !, I have a question about building ncc 🥺.

Currently, I'm developing github-actions that uses npm-check-updates, but apparently when I build index.js that requires npm-check-updates, I get the following error Appears and I cannot output.

（Is node-gyp involved? ? ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔）

Is there any correspondence or setting that we have to do? Is the node version affected? ? ? This build also had a similar error with the TypeScript version.

Verification please!

I identified that this was caused by @npmcli/run-script/lib/make-spawn-args.js:5 doing require.resolve('node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js').

I fixed this by externalizing @npmcli/run-script:

ncc build -s --external='@npmcli/run-script' -o dist/main src/index.js

and adding @npcli/runscript and its dependencies to git.

PS, I recommend copy-pasting the error message instead of screen-shotting it so that people searching for this same error can find this issue.

and adding @npcli/runscript and its dependencies to git

How exactly did you do this?

[privatenumber]

Sorry this was a long time ago and I don't remember this specific problem.

However, I do remember I realized ncc is not a requirement for developing GitHub Actions and just using Rollup is a lot easier and faster: https://github.com/pkg-size/action/blob/develop/rollup.config.js

@privatenumber Yea, I've tried rollup and could never get it to work. I have referenced your rollup config as well with no luck 🤷 Thanks for the reply though, appreciate it :)
