I tried downgrading NodeJS and it works in v 10, but other parts of my code cannot run under v10. I know this issues have been reported multiple times, but none of the provided solutions worked for me.

EDIT: It doesn't work under Python 3.8 and 2.7.

Thanks

No repository file or test is named. Start with the reported node-gyp rebuild command, its working directory (/home/***), and whether binding.gyp exists there; compare the behavior across the mentioned Node and Python versions. Done would require a reproducible diagnosis and a clearly scoped fix or documentation update.
