Cannot install on Node 13, grpc dependency needs updating

[lovrop]

What version of OpenCensus are you using?

0.0.19

What version of Node are you using?

13

What did you do?

Full repro steps:

$ node --version
v13.1.0
$ npm --version
6.12.1
$ uname -mrsv
Darwin 18.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.7.0: Tue Aug 20 16:57:14 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.271.2~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

$ mkdir opencensus-repro && cd opencensus-repro
$ npm init -y
$ npm install --save-dev @opencensus/nodejs
... blows up with a C++ compile error

Additional context

The grpc package seems to break regularly with new Node releases but they usually fix it within a few days. The most recent instance was grpc/grpc-node#1086.

Please upgrade the grpc dependency to at least 1.24.2 and, due to the nature of the dependency, consider making it a caret dependency so that there's not a chain of packages that need updating every time. Thanks!

@mayurkale22 sorry for the direct ping but is this something you could take care of quickly, or at least chime in on? It seems straightforward to fix and has been a cause of dependency mini-hell for us for a while now. Thanks! 🙏

There is an MR that fixes this #655
