electron-builder error related to node-gyp

I'm having an error whenever I try building my app with Electron.
I didn't have this issue until last week or so, It was working fine before, it suddenly stopped working.
I didn't understand the issue so I reinstalled my OS and everything on the computer, but it didn't change anything. I found some messages on the terminal telling me to install python, then VSCode with C++ for desktop applications, I did, then the error changed and I don't see any way to fix it any further.
This is my package.json, im running 'npm run build':

Webpack and webpack-dev-server installation error

I'm trying to install a Webpack and Babel to use React without CRA.
During installation webpack-dev-server, I've facing with some dependencies problems

Reinstall npm dependencies by running this command: npm install
How to solve this problems?
Thanks for any advice

I found the answer on a Github Issue page: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2119
My npm version has been 7.0.8. As a mvyunko mention in issue, I just type the following:
npm install npm#latest -g
npm install webpack-dev-server --save-dev
After all commands, my npm version has been changed to 6.14.8, and installation error has gone.

React npm run build is getting failed every time

when I am trying to build my react app. npm run build command is failed every time. When I use npm start command everything works fine,but I can not build the app with the command.
here is my error:

The package.json file looks fine to me. I think it is a bug, or, at least, a poorly documented error. Try debug or just cleanup unwanted files that you dont need around the project and restart the build.

how i can fix this error? thanks!

If you have a Grunt version that has not yet applied this patch, then you will get that error due to a mistype where this line in the package.json:
underscore.string#'~2.2.0rc
Should instead be this:
underscore.string#'~2.2.0-rc
To fix this problem, use a newer version of Grunt.

in package.json change sails ">0.9"
and grunt ">0.4.1"
thats all
