While working on the PR #60916 I had often saw a deadlock during build of Node-API test addons.
The issue is that if there are too many errors and the
stderrbuffer becomes full, then theprocess.wait()is causing a deadlock.This behavior was observed it on Windows. I did not check the other platforms.
The fix removes the use of the
process.wait()to avoid the deadlock.
